Aluminium cans

Both aluminium and steel cans can be recycled at all 14 of Merseyside's Household Waste Recycling Centres. Squash them if possible and take to a Household Waste Recycling Centre, place in your kerbside collection or bring them to a can bank in your area. Local schools or other groups may also collect cans for recycling. Recycling aluminium cans to make new drinks cans save 95% of the energy needed to make them from raw material. Remember foil milk bottle tops, foil or pie container should not go into your aluminium recycling as these cause problems when reprocessing.
