What should I do with a toasted sesame oil canister?

[Dropkick]

I keep wanting to re-purpose these canisters.
They're metal with a closeable plastic spout in the middle of the top.
Every time I empty one I work hard at removing the label, cleaning off the label glue, getting the remaining sesame oil out of the inside, and killing off the sesame oil scent. Then I set them on the counter for a week before I throw them away.
I just cleaned another.

You can use them for storing homemade vinaigrette.

Re-purposing (re-use) is even better than recycling, but failing that, can those canisters be recycled? A few types of plastic still give recycling centers a problem, and a plastic container with some sort of oil residue might also, but that looks like it's metal.

It's metal with a closeable plastic spout in the middle of the top.
They wouldn't recycle it because of the mix. It's also possible the inside is plastic lined - and possible plastic coating is why they no longer accept aluminum foil and disposable pie pans for recycling anymore.
