Recycling Altoids Tins

If you have any empty Altoids Tins, please donate them to me for a little project.

I’m not an environmentalist nut like some of my friends (ahem [url=http://www.weblogsky.com]Jon[/url], [url=http://www.alexbain.org]Alex[/url]), but I’ve suddenly become really irked about Altoids tins… You see Altoids, the “curiously strong” mints are everywhere. One of their nice qualities is that they come in a small metal tin which makes for great convenience.

However, since people go through these things by the truckload, I wonder how many of these things are actually recycled… I imagine there are millions of Altoid tins in every dump in America.

THEREFORE… I’ve devised an interesting use for the tins which I think will appeal to the geek in all of us…

I’ll need a large pile of tins for R&D purposes… anyone that donates some tins to me will get a finished product in return.

Thanks!
