Reusing coffee tins

[Robbo 27]

We seem to be going through a lot of coffee, at least two of these tins a week. Being a re - user of items as opposed to a recycler has anyone any useful ideas as to what can be done with them?

Storing nuts

Throw in the bin and buy some decent beans

Store some emergency cash?

What's it made of?

Steel or aluminium, take your pick.

[f1dget]

Buy the refill packs.

[ApOrbital]

Fill it with gravy granules and see what the outcome is.

[Cold]

Piece of string to save on mobile phone bills too.

OP -
You could make lots of these with your cans.

One tin might be useful for storing things. Two a week is a recycling problem.

Tea bags

Make a long range WiFi antenna.

Get a long piece of string, give one to your mate over the road and save money on phone calls?

Those make very satisfactory targets for some back garden plinking....shredded remains put out for recycling.....

Couple of pieces of string and everyone will think you are taller than you really are.

Spray them silver and sell on ebay as exhausts for chavved up Corsas/Scoobies?

[Lukeypoodle]

Buy an air pistol.

[RTB]

We use the lids to seal our half empty cat-food tins..... other than that, buying an air gun seems like the best idea.

i re use old glass jam jars and the like for spare nuts and bolts and keeping stuff in. These tins are strong and well made, it seems a great pity that they only go for recycling and not reusing.
