You're lucky to have ice cream available in plastic tubs.  In the US,
ice cream comes in waxed cardboard or paper containers.


If you were to come to my home (in New York state) you would find we have
dozens of empty ice cream containers with lids.  The sizes are 4 quart and 6
quart, are round, and will nest inside each other.  But you will NOT find Lego
stored in any of them.  They store other household items but are used primarily
in the vegetable garden. [1]

The best part about these ice cream containers is that they originally held ice
cream, of course, but also that they get delivered right to my home.  For that
reason, we buy all of our ice cream from Schwans as we have done for at least
20 years or so.  http://www.schwans.com/

[1]  With the bottom cut out, they are excellent wind, sun, and pest protection
for seedlings and new transplants.  In spring and summer my gardens are filled
with rows of these white buckets with plants growing up through them.
