Cans (Aluminium & Steel Drinks & Food Cans)
Recycling aluminium cans to make new drinks cans can save 95% of the energy needed to make them from raw material.
Aluminium drinks cans do not attract a magnet - look out for the symbol on the side of the can. Food cans are generally made of steel.
You can recycle your aluminium and steel cans at Piranha International. They can be contacted on 679-7826 or info@piranhatt.com
Local groups, such as scouts, may also collect cans for recycling.
Buy a can crusher. Look out for one made from recycled materials (such as recycled plastic) that can crush food cans as well as aluminium cans. Six crushed cans take up the same space as one uncrushed can.
Try to buy drinks which are in a refillable bottle.
