    Hi guys

    This is going to sound like a silly question but does anyone know how to get rid of their baby milk powder cans.
    I have at least 20 SMA cans. It feels like such a waste to put them in the normal bin. Can they be recycled or what does anyone else do with them?
    Thanks!!

    Totally recyclable. Just unclip the lids.

    Well my husband used our for cleaning paintbrushes, great half the mess, storing grass seed, he put his paintbrushes and screwdrivers into some, when cleaning out the deep fat fryer we put the old oil in there, less mess putting it into the bin, I stored some of my baking utensils in one , great for small kids toys like lego.

    Thanks guys. I have used some for coin boxes, kitchen utensil holders, made rattle cans for baby (sealed some dried beans inside and covered it in bring colours) but we have tons left. Great that they are recyclable!
