We recycle water using buckets from the shower (which takes over a minute each morning to get to hot due to the way our apartment is set up). We use the excess to rinse dishes before they go in the dishwasher (when needed) and on our plants on the balcony.

One tip with bucket recycling - don’t leave the water laying around for more than 24 hours - mozzies and other nasties can start breeding/growing in your water if you leave it around.

The Alternative Technology Association has a great guide for collecting and re-using greywater.

Trina, over at Greenfoot, also has a post on building a greywater system for $121 and another on how she stores and uses water leaking through a hole in her gutter on the garden, incl. a trick to stop mosquitos breeding.
