do you know any can crushers?

I put on my DH’s boots and jump on them.

If you have a local cubs or Brownies, and you have a lot of cans, you could ask if the children would like to help with your recycling. I know when we did a collection they fought to see how many each they cold do.

I now give mine to a local charity collection point who have a crusher on their wall

I live in Sweden and almost every supermarket has a can crusher for soft drinks or beer cans. You put your can in, the machine reads the barcode and then crushes it. You then press a button and get a ticket to redeem your deposits at the till. Same system for glass/plastic bottles although they don't get crushed.

If you put a "foreign" can in - it still crushes and recycles it but you don't get money back

Although you have to time in right - the day after major holidays there can be queues of people with binbags full of cans.

my son and daughter in law take all my drinks cans and 2 litre bottles to a lidl store in glasgow and get 5p per can and use the voucher towards shopping.
