Re-use metal coffee cans and lids. My grandfather used coffee cans to store nails, bolts, small screw drivers, and other tools. The cans kept the moisture out and kept things organized. They can also be used to store small containers of oil, etc. and sandpaper.

I have two uses for coffee cans that are a bit unusual, but they sit proudly in my kitchen. I make a small hole in one plastic cover and put all peelings (from carrots, potatoes, celery etc and dried, egg shells) into the compost bin. The other has a large scissor cut in the plastic cover for a huge ball of yarn that I use in the garden. Put the end of the yarn through the hole and it pulls out without difficulty.

Get a coffee can with a plastic lid and clean it thoroughly. Any size can be used.
Make three or four evenly spaced holes in the sides of the can, near the bottom. You may use a bottle opener for this.
These are all great ideas! I should definitely use the compost idea.Thanks for sharing! : )
In the following suggestions many people suggest using "cans" over a fire or in an oven. Most coffee comes in plastic "cans" now.
