I work for an environmental charity and am trying to source some collecting cans but they all seems to be plastic. Are there any other suppliers of either recycled or other materials?

Recycled Collection Tins
I discovered recently that an initiative to give 10 chess sets to every school in the country is backed by a company that had a problem with the bits of Chrysler dashboards that couldn't be recycled - he's melting them down and moulding chess sets from them!
If you're an environmental charity you can probably find some companies in the business, but if not, I'll try my chess contacts and get the company who are doing it.
The principle seems to be that we give them a use for stuff that can only be melted and moulded, but I guess that works for us.
There are some card collection devices, but obviously not terribly robust.
Cheers
