vexorian Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 I am tired of canisters. Their shapes makes them useless for piece storage (to me). And even if they were horizontal, the variety of sizes and the fact they are not see-through would make them very ineffective. I have kept all of them ever since toa mata era. So now I have a bunch of space that is in use by around 60 canisters which have no use to me. If they were boxes, I would flat them and add them to my box collection, but no, they have to be solid plastic stuff that take one liter of space each! ARrrgg. So, I made the decision to throw them out. But I would like them not to add to the pollution problem. I have heard claims that they are recyclable, but when I found a place that accepts PET plastic for recycling, they didn't want most of my canisters because they weren't see through. Has anyone succeeded at recycling these things? If so, how? Quote

Plenty of space in the attic. By the way, I don't think it belongs here. Quote
-R8- Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 You can always try to sell them on BrickLink. You won't get a lot of money for them, but at least they'll be off your hands. Quote
Zwen Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 I don't have too many sets. But I use the canisters to put my pencils and other art stuff inside. I prefer to get rid of the boxes... Quote
