There are enough people around still using film that you can stock up pretty well at Walgreen's or CVS or any place near you that does film development. They don't want the canisters and usually just pitch them.

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...).
