Cans and glass are 100% recyclable

1 recycled tin can would save enough energy to power a television for 3 hours 1 recycled aluminum can (like Red Bull) would save enough energy to run a 100 watt light bulb for 20 hours, a computer for 3 hours, and a TV for 2 hours.

Metal is separated into 2 groups: ALUMINIUM STEEL / TIN Use a magnet to test which metal your waste is Sticks Does not stick

The filled tins are then taken to shops and stacked on the shelves People choose and buy the product they wish to use The empty cans are collected for recycling Cans are collected in lorries and dumped in huge heaps at the recycling factory Magnets separate steel cans from aluminium cans. They are compacted and taken to a steel factory The cans are melted in a furnace and made into new cans Tins & Cans are transported to food factories to be filled with food or drink CAN RECYCLING

A steel mill using recycled scrap reduces water pollution, air pollution, and mining waste by about 70 percent.

South Africans and Recycling Did you know? An aluminium can that is thrown away will still be a can 500 years from now The people of South Africa produce 540 million tons of waste a year About 95% of all South Africa’s waste is disposed of in landfill sites On average, 16% of the money you spend on a product pays for the packaging, which ultimately ends up as rubbish.

The unreleased energy contained in the average dustbin each year could power a television for 5,000 hours. SO…. RECYCLE! SO…. RECYCLE!
