Cans

Drinks cans

Yes. You can recycle drinks cans via your local authority’s kerbside collections or at your nearest recycling bank.

How should I recycle drinks cans?

  • Rinse the cans thoroughly before recycling
  • Use a can crusher if you have access to one

What else can I do with them?

If you use a lot of drinks cans, for example at work or at school, you can sell them to a local Cash for Cans organisation.

  • For every tonne of aluminium we recycle here in the UK, Alupro has committed to plant one tree in Burkina Faso. You really can turn your cans into trees!
