Response to Empty film cannisters and bulk film cans

You can recycle the plastic film cans, alot of labs do this. We usually save all of ours up in a big box. Every couple of months our education dept. likes to gather up scrap materials for hands-on programs. Those little plastic cans are perfect for crafts projects. Everyone always wants the bulk film tins. We use them in the studio to prop things up on tabletop shoots, or to carry rolls of film on location. The spools that the bulk film comes on are handy too....Kodak and fuji still use aluminum cans. Fujichrome Dupe film comes in a larger can as well, it has about 5.5" diameter & we use them to carry pc cords & battery cables. Kodak has some info about recycling photo packaging materials & scrap film leaders on their professional/environmental website.
