During WW11,Civilians were asked to collect all sorts of things for the war effort. Old ice skates and aluminum pots and pans were turned in at scrap metal drives.
Occasionally,
you could get a free ticket to the movies if you brought in a rubber
item or ball of tinfoil. The Ringling Brothers, Barnum & Bailey Circus
offered a free grandstand ticket to any civilian who purchased a war
bond.

This is a WW2 Disney designed patch that somehow is designated as a Scrap Metal Patch. We can't find any details regarding it's release, by whom and to whom. | |
The Boy Scouts collected old newspapers. Even ordinary household grease
was saved. Fibers from milkweed pods were used in life jackets, and many
schools held contests and awarded prizes to the kids who picked the
most.
