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...]

Strangely enough, I don't have a lot of little game pieces to keep together, and I manage to store far too much change to fit in a film cylinder (need to change that :-). I think I tend to be more of a medium- to large-sized container to store 'category x' items (change, crochet yarn, buttons, beads, shells, marbles), though I love pretty tiny boxes. These somehow aren't as useful to me.
Need any containers for game pieces?

Hmm. Actually, it would be good to have separate containers for money for Illuminati denominations, and it could be good to have containers for XP for Dork Tower when I finally buy the game.

So, are film containers or pill containers more useful for these?
I have more of the former than the latter, but you're welcome to any.

Either are fine. Film I'd just have to label is all.

Cool. I'll bring them to the Diesel some week, though probably not this one.

I should point out that I can start accumulating film canisters instead of chucking them, if you'll actually use them. :)
