Aluminium Cans

We recycle Aluminium cans and get paid for doing it.  Bring your empty cans along to the Scout Hut on a Tuesday or Thursday evening and help keep the group open.

How can you tell if a drink can is made of aluminium?

Around 75% of drink cans are made of aluminium. An easy way to check is to test the side of a can with a magnet - if the magnet doesn't stick it's aluminium. Aluminium cans are lighter than steel and the metal is more shiny - if you compare the base of a steel can to one made of aluminium you can see the difference.
