commercial alu can collectionDoes anyone know of a company or organisation that collects alu cans from workplaces? There used to be one that we used but I think the council shut it down.We currently have a couple of sacks of cans in the office and I hardly use the car now to get to the office so I cant easily take away myself. Given that alu is fairly valuable, I would of thought it worth someone picking it up. James |

Nah, scrap's bottomed out again. Keep them until after the Olympics when China's making tat again, then sell it to Panda Rosa. | ||

i presume when you say 2 bags , you mean crushed cans? | ||
| JamesB |
no there are uncrushed. must persuade the boss to buy a can crusher. maybe its not worth pickingup 2 bags smoothhound but if you are passing the west end of abz you are welcome to it, otherwise i'll try ayecan.

Spotted a collection box in the Alford Swimming Pool Reception area - collecting tins for Old English Sheepdogs! | ||

And why can't the Old English Sheepdogs collect them themselves? That's just plain lazy.
