- ssl-3 2y agoWhen I worked in 1-hour photo, the inner metal+plastic 35mm film cans all went into one barrel, the outer 35mm plastic canisters all went into another barrel, and the disposable cameras all went into a third barrel. These were kept separated, bagged up as needed, and the bags were picked up by the Kodak truck at night along with all of the send-out orders.
