hi, this post will be a yawn to some of you, but this is my hit at recycling . i have obtained some slim fast tins from friends ,and have covered them with paper, they are brilliant for storing tools. glues and pencils etc .when opening the tins there is a pull ring lid on them so they leave a clean no sharp rim they are very roomy and easy to access, see told it would be a yawn lol, how about sharing your tips and ideas with us
