    Cardboard cofee can

    I save my coffee cans and put screws, nails and other small sharp items in before I take them to the scrap yard, figure anything I can do to help with less chances for a nail in tires the better! Now the coffee cans are made moastly of cardboard, I still use them. More and more items are useing less metal in there packaging, tuna in a pouch and so on... I took apart a vacume cleaner the other day and it only had 6 screws holding it together everything else was plastic clips!

    Was at the beach one day with a metal detector and hit something just under the sand...a shiny pop tart wrapper...yay!

    I use plastic water / powerade / milk bottles for screws and small shred..Fill it up and cap it, it's now contained...No more toting around buckets after dumping them out at the yard.
