amo_mea_filiis. Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Where can i get empty 35mm film canisters or something like it? It needs to be small, dark, and with a cover. I need a lot. Ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkacademy Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I got mine at a camera shop. They gave them for free too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erica in OR Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 You can ask at places like Walgreen's photo finishing. They'll give them for free, although they definitely have a lot fewer of them than they used to. Your local freecycle group?

Pixjen Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I just got a bunch at Sam's Club. I needed the white ones, and they had a lot. They were more than happy to give me what I needed. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trilliums Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 OK, I can't be the only one wondering what you are using them for. :bigear: I use the clear ones for alka seltzer rockets (the lid fits on the inside and this seems to result in better take offs). What are you all doin with your black ones? g And FYI< some places (Walmart where we used to live) will not give them to you because they put them in "hazardous waste disposal".

chickenpatty Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 This may be a long shot, but do you have any diabetic friends? My dd's test strips come in containers like this. We have a lot of them, because we're waiting for a brilliant idea to strike us on what to do with them. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
