Dear Michelle,
The Boston Children's Museum has a great "Recycle Shop" that
collaborates with local factories, manufacturers and businesses to
secure materials that are no longer needed, such as;safe industrial
leftovers, from ribbons to rubber, tubes to bottle tops, game pieces to
camera cases to fabric paint and (I am pretty sure)film cannisters. The
manager of the Recycle Shop is Chris D'Angelo:(617) 426-8855 X416. He
might be able to tell you his source for the film cannisters.
Good Luck!
Linda H Coulombe

I am at my wit's end for this one...lots of us know about the
alka-seltzer rocket activity that uses Fuji film canisters. The Fuji
canisters are best since the lid fits into the mouth of the container &
not over the edges. I have tried contacting Fuji directly - they don't
send out the canisters separately from the film. I have tried
contacting every local photo processing place - the canisters are out
there, but due to the low numbers of people using film vs. digital
cameras, we can only get them a couple at a time, requiring us to drive
around massive distances to only get a few canisters. I have tried
locating a manufacturer on the web, but I don't really know the right
keywords to use that don't bring up every iteration of the film canister
alka-seltzer rocket lesson plan in existence on the web plus every film
supplier out there.
Help! Who manufactures these things? Frankly, we could only use 60, if
we had to, but we really need at least 500 of them, if not more. We're
very willing to pay for them, but they have to be the right kind of
canister or the activity, well, fizzles out (sorry, I couldn't
resist...).
