What can I recycle?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not just drink cans \u2013\u00a0 kitchen foil, foil trays, and bottle tops are also made of recyclable aluminium.<\/p>\n

Here’s a list of what aluminium you can recycle and how:<\/p>\n

Drinks cans<\/strong> \u2013 soft drink\/beer\/hard seltzer\/energy drink\/wine\/cocktail\/mixers\/pre mixed cans are all fully recyclable and can be placed into your kerbside recycling bin or brought to a can bring bank (often located at glass bring bank sites<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Please make sure cans are empty, there\u2019s no need to clean or crush them.\u00a0 \u00a0However, you may choose to crush them to create more room in your recycling bin – this does not affect their recyclability.<\/p>\n

Kitchen Foil \u2013<\/strong> often called tin foil or aluminium foil.\u00a0 This can be used as sandwich wrapping or to preserve foods.\u00a0 Foils can also be found on some chocolates (like toblerone or Easter eggs).\u00a0 Add them together to create a ball the size of your thumb and pop them into the kerbside recycling bin to be endlessly recycled.<\/p>\n

Foil trays<\/strong> – foil trays often come with take aways, or premium ready meals from the supermarket.\u00a0 Let’s not forget cooking trays and the large turkey tray at Christmas time.\u00a0Just give them a wash to remove any food particles and place them into your kerbside recycling bin.<\/p>\n

Bottle tops<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 aluminium screw caps, found on glass bottles of wines, spirits and cooking ingredients: Please screw them back on the empty glass bottles before recycling at a bring bank.\u00a0 You can find your nearest bring bank by click here.<\/a><\/p>\n

Every waste collector or recovery operator now collects all of these materials for recycling.\u00a0To see the full national recycling list visit the My Waste website here. <\/a><\/p>\n

Some other types of aluminium packaging are not always collected by recovery operators, this includes coffee capsules (e.g.\u00a0Nespresso).\u00a0Alupro has supported Nespresso who have established their own recycling system.\u00a0Find out more here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

All aluminium is endlessly recyclable but not all types can be collected from the kerbside. Please take any other aluminium items to be recycled at your local civic amenity site (\u2018the tip\u2019) such as aerosols, bikes, garden tools, pots\/pans and empty paint tins.\u00a0Click here to find your local site.<\/a><\/u><\/p>\n
