I actually put exposed rolls back in 'em to help try to keep the film
from being exposed to heat and dust at the track (even go as far as
tossing them into a cooler for the remainder of the day when it is
really hot). I then let the lab toss 'em in their recycling bin.

Funny you should ask though. Some racing photographers are apparently
real slobs and you will see empty film containers all over the place on
the ground in popular shooting areas. This becomes a bone of contention
with track maintenance staff who in turn complain to the track's media
staff. We are always reminded to "pack our trash" at the photographer's
meetings but for some it goes in one ear and out the other. It is a
serious problem as it is not uncommon for some of these guys to shoot
upwards of 50 rolls in a race weekend (gasp). Could you imagine if
nature photographers were this sloppy?

Recycle 'em into milk bottles and mountain bike handlebar grips (I put
Pedro's recycled grips on my ancient Ritchey and love 'em).
