2. Kerbside Collection
In some areas, local councils provide special boxes or sacks to collect recyclable materials. This is known as kerbside collection, as the
materials are collected straight from your doorstep, like normal rubbish.
If your area has a kerbside collection scheme, you simply place all your steel cans in the special container and then put it out to be collected and
taken to the recycling plant.
To find out which type of steel can recycling scheme operates in your area, phone the Steel Can Information Bureau on freephone 0321 4 SCRIB
(72742), or contact your local authority's recycling officer.
Remember
- Wash cans out before you recycle them
- Put can lids, bottle tops and jam jar lids inside cans.
- Squash cans as flat as possible before you put them in a can bank to save space.
- Don't squash aerosol cans – empty them, remove the plastic cap and then put them in as they are.
