What would you do with an empty Pringles container?
Put it in the trash.
Put it in the recycling bin.
Put it in the steel pile as is.
Fill it up with small steel and throw it in with the steel.

Make an iPhone Speaker!
I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!

ugh... iphone... you can make an iphone casket and throw them both away.

Throw it in the burn pile. Remnants of the burn pile are raked up and shoveled into a Gaylord (old fertilizer tub) and hauled in as prepared. Living in the country allows for the burning of trash. I know the forum does not endorse burning as a method of preparing scrap, but this is a fact of life in country life. Hauling trash 30 miles to a landfill instead of burning it and adding it to the garden is not a hard choice.
To put this in perspective, lots of old farm machinery has wood attached. Scrap yards do no pay for wood so we burn it off. Since I heat my home and shop with wood, it does not seem any different.

I chose other. I do use them for small shred(screws, bolts, washers, etc.) I also use them for small cast/pot metal I get with somethings I get regularly. Small CBM type stuff(things I pluck off low grade boards an the like), alum heat sinks from low grade that I strip, an other small heat sinks from various items. Basically anything small that I can get in one.
I also use them for copper yokes that fall apart. Can fit a good bit of it in there. LOL.
No container goes un-used if I can help it.

I keep one beside my chair in my shop. When I'm breaking down electronics and something gold pops out, it goes into the pringles can.
|
I usually use the small ones to hold resistors - can fit about 5,000 new ones in there.
|
Fill it with screws as I tear stuff apart and then into the shred pile...

The plastic grocery bags make great fire starters.

I usually throw them in the garbage because I'm p****d off that I just found an empty can in the pantry and I didn't get any chips.
Put it down and go get a full one. Mike

I burn off everything except the steel

They're all lined up next to my chair for winter scrapping. I should just line the floor with neo magnets cuz I'm a terrible shot.

**** poll is all my 5yr old mind read now on the poll lol but any who I love old cans mostly coffee cans or nut cans when I fill my truck up again I will post a pic cause I do this to my yard 2-3 times a year to throw them off a bit cause just like most small tiny bits they don't want them scattered so I save them to get at least 1200lbs in with cans plus seeing people look in the back when I am driving or stopped somewhere gives me a good grin lol

Hey Everybody! Remember Me? I know it's been a long time since I've been on here, but I saw something pop up about pringles cans and could not resist! I don't scrap them. For all you pyros and other folks who may like to teach your kid some science, check out what I do with them! Google TENNIS BALL MORTAR and let the fun begin! I've since graduated from lighter fluid, and now reinforce them with cardboard tubes from shrinkwrap rolls... I like a little more powerful lift charge...
***Fun Fact: The man who invented the pringles can was actually buried in a giant one!***
