Sliced a dime-sized patch of skin off my right index finger this morning trying to wash out a Campbell's soup can. I thought it would make a decent (FREE!) container to hold fabric-dyeing spoons separate from spoons I use for food (this is crucial; dyes are 'non-toxic' but that doesn't mean 'edible'). Bled through two fabric bandages and ruined my plans to spend the day with my hands in buckets of salty water.
Attention brainwashed hippies who lack critical thinking skills: this is why I don't wash my garbage to recycle it. It's not worth the pain and suffering. No blood for Gaia! Not to mention conservation of our precious freshwater supplies...I have no idea why people who refuse to shower because hygiene hurts the planet insist we should waste water in this fashion.
OTOH, if you don't mind bleeding to death to save the planet, YOU can wash and recycle my garbage.
(I decided to house my fabric-dyeing spoons in...a plastic grocery bag. Lacks the aesthetic appeal of the soup can, but I should have gone for safety in the first place.)

Got a pair of pliers around? Just go around the edge of that can and crimp the sharp edge down... Or go to the Dollar Store and buy a plastic cup.
Cleaning out cans and jars uses enough energy, water & soap that it must defeat the (recycling) purpose, eh?
The one-touch can opener is the way to go: http://www.1seenontvstore.com/one-touch.html
Hope your finger heals! I somehow managed to get a deep, but not big, cut on my thumb. Yowza, it smarts. Soaked through one bandage and still can't use it for everything.
Thanks, everyone! I've decided I will only re-use plastic and glass food containers to hold my paintbrushes and pencils. :) I'm really too cheap to spend a dollar (plus 8% NY sales tax) for that...
