THE Steel Can Recycling Information Bureau is urging people to launch their own recycling campaign, starting by recycling all the steel cans used during the festive period.
Food cans, tins of pet food and aerosols are often made out of steel.
According to the bureau, people use about 200 steel cans every year and these can all be recycled into new cans or other steel objects like scissors, paperclips or even cars.
Whether a can can be recycled is shown by one of the four recycling symbols on the side.
Or a magnet can be used to test whether a can is made out of steel.
The information bureau can be contacted on 0171 3791306.
