Recycling is a simple way to reduce your organisation’s impact on the environment, and recycling drinks cans is one simple step you can take to start making a difference.  Recycling is a cost-effective method of dealing with your waste, simply because it is often cheaper when compared with general waste disposal.

Every Can Counts aims to make it easier to recycle the drink cans used in your business or organisation, and can help you make a real success of it.  We can provide advice and support to help you get started, including help with finding a recycling service provider, supplying branded collection boxes and exciting promotional materials which you can use to encourage everyone to take part. 

Alupro is managing Every Can Counts on behalf of the beverage can makers (BCME and UK Canmakers) the aluminium and steel packaging manufacturers and reprocessors and the Waste & Resources Action Programme.

Recycling service providers

The key to all collection programmes is to make sure you have a recycling service to handle the collected material:  these services are increasingly available across the UK, so ask your organisation’s waste services provider whether they also provide recycling services. Or contact your local authority for advice.

Cash for cans

Alternatively, see whether there’s a cash for cans centre nearby (recycling site locator).   If so, and if you have someone who is prepared to deliver collected aluminium cans into the centre, you may like to set up an appeal to raise funds within your workplace (planning an appeal).   This is a great way to stimulate collection and build motivation in your organisation.
