Query
Other than recycling, what can I do with empty film cannisters?
(I don't want to use them for food of any sort, because I don't believe the plastic is food-grade.) If you have a project that could use a number of them, I'm very happy to contribute them!
On a related note, what can I do with old prescription containers (the prescription information has been very nicely peeled off already)? Ditto.
[totally off-topic addendum: the alarm (or whatever it was) finally stopped ringing late yesterday afternoon. Next step: find out what it was. No apology from the neighbors yet...]

Ah well - the only use I ever found for them was as salt & pepper shakers for camping trips. They made (perhaps still make) little plastic tops that had a flap covering a few salt-shaker holes. It was the cutest thing.
Re:
I've gotten more squicked over the years, having read a few too many articles about how different plastics can give off fumes of one sort or another that are not ideal for ingesting. Salt might be relatively inert, but ground pepper is surely not (plus I've become more of a black-pepper snob, preferring freshly ground to the stuff in the shakers).
