    Sit the container inside of a small pot of boiling water, watch it closely & when all the wax melts, take the container out of the pot, pour the wax into your trash, then wipe out the rest of the wax with a paper towel.

    Source(s): I do this all the time, as I love the container candles come in as well as the candle itself!!

    Use a heat gun or a hair dryer to heat the container until the wax melts and runs out.

    Hot water on the outside will soften it and make it removable. Once the big chunks are out, hot water, dish soap and a brush will clear away the waxy film.
