What To Do With Empty 35mm Film Canisters?



For 35mm Film shooters there is no end to the number of empty film canisters that can accumulate in your camera bag and around the house. Over the years I have used them for any number of things - pill holder, container for small screws and nails, tacks etc.

The photo above shows the ultimate in 35mm film canister recycling however.

Just “Google”  “Film Can Shaker Lids” and you can find several online sources. The shipping will probably cost more than the lids but you’re recycling so its for a worthy cause.

I used a black canister for the pepper and a white one for the salt but you can do what you like with them.  It makes a great inexpensive gift for your film shooting friends too!
