Since 1987, Kodak has designed and manufactured a wide range of one-time-use cameras-point and shoot "disposable" cameras that require that a customer provide the entire camera to a film development company for film development rather than a container holding a roll of film. Developing old film from a Kodak one-time-use camera isn't difficult as it only requires that you hand over the camera and pay for development services. As long as the camera wasn't exposed to moisture, extreme temperature changes or high heat that can damage film, you can typically have old film developed within the same timeframe as new film.
Instructions
1. Go to a camera or other retail store that has a department or kiosk offering film development services.
2. Select a film development package on the provided film development request form or envelope based on price or your photo preferences. Select photo options such as color (black and white or color), photo surface (glossy or matte), print (single or double) and/or whether you want a photo CD. Mark your choices on the form or envelope along with the type of film (for example, 110 film or 35 mm), number of photographs on the film roll or negatives and your contact information.
3. Hand your one-time-use Kodak camera containing old film and request to the department's customer service agent and take the ticket that the agent hands you. If using an envelope, place your camera into the envelope, pull the numbered ticket off the envelope flap so that you have proof of your request and then seal the envelope by folding the flap down. Hand the envelope to the agent or, if you have access to a film/collection bin, drop it down the hole connected to the bin.
4. Pick up your photos and negatives when available.
