Last week I helped to prepare lighters collected in the coastal cleanup to be shipped for research about the floating of lighters and trash in general in the South-Asian Sea. link to https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-0Sm ... P1s/s500/1292827526_0.jpg

My part was drilling holes into the lighters to remove the petrol. Despite some reservations about drilling into containers filled with flammable content, it was no problem to remove the gas without igniting it. With having a ventilator nearby and no fire, there is few danger. And it was quite interesting to see the differences between lighter produced in Taiwan, China, Japan or Korea. It is taking some time to prepare and count all the lighters but it is a nice alteration to research on the computer.
