metals


  • usually separated into: aluminium (drinks cans) - non-magnetic, and steel (food tins) - magnetic (aerosols can be made from either)
  • you can use a magnet to identify steel from aluminium. please email us for a free recycle-more magnet.
  • wash and squash cans before recycling. Only recycle clean aluminium foil. Never pierce or crush aerosols even when empty
  • only put empty aerosols in recycling schemes i.e. when you cannot get any more out by pressing the button
  • crisp wrappers (metallised plastic film) cannot be recycled. Metallised plastic springs back when scrunched
