A rather strange issue has occurred where I moved into a house and there was a lot of junk, the majority of which turns out to be useful, but there is a big set of blinds encased in a 2 meter unit made of metal. To get rid of this, I either have to drive to the local dump or if I can cut it in half, the refuse collectors will take it.
So I realised I don't have a tool for cutting this. I only have a wood saw (my tool collection is growing, but limited).
The question really is, what do I need to cut this thin, long metal casing in half. I have used saws that do this kind of thing in the past, but don't own one. I really don't want something over-elaborate – does a hacksaw or a jigsaw do this kind of work?

A hacksaw would definitely get the job done. If you're looking for a power-tool version, a Reciprocating saw is the (fun) way to go.
Probably not a good thing to use a jig saw on as usually they are intended for making more precise cuts, hence are slower.
