I clean the can out really well. Then I use the cans for my craft items. ( Mostly to store my beads in). It works very well.

recycling the lids of metal cans is easy. Once the food in the can has been used, drop the lid back into the can. Then bend in the lip of the can with your hands. It requires very little pressure and will assure that the lid does not fall out.

And, I want to add that if you use a hammer to bend in the top of the can, it will hold the lids in. I don't believe that they have to be shaken out to be recxycled.
