Aluminium cans

Soft drink can

Did you know recycling 1 aluminium can saves enough energy to run a light bulb for 4 hours.  And that making aluminium cans from recycled aluminium takes only 5 percent of the energy required to make cans from raw materials.

Reuse

Let your imagination run wild and get crafty with your empty aluminium can - make a model car or aeroplane.

Recycle

You can recycle your drink can through kerbside recycling service, your nearest recycling drop off centre or can-bank.  Tin foil and aluminium pie dishes can also be accepted for recycling if they are clean and have no food residue. (See Tin foil for more information).
