Help Environment Save by Recycling Cans
Help Environment Save by Recycling Cans
I like walking. Whenever I can I leave the car at home and walk. I walk to the shops, to the library, and many other places as well. Every day I see used aluminum drinks cans dropped on pathways and in hedgerows. If people want to dispose of them this way at least drop them where they can easily be picked up by someone else, and not in a hedgerow or other difficult spot where it is easy to be scratched and prickled by thorns.
Many people have a twinge of conscience about the environment and what we can do voluntarily to help save it. Recycling cans is what we can do easily. All you need do is separate them from the rest of the rubbish and either take them to a recycling centre or leave them in your “recyclables” bin, to be collected by, in our case, the local council.
The one thing we must not do is put them in landfill, because they don’t biodegradable.
Instead of throwing away empty aluminum cans away here are four ways to reuse them.
1. Used ring pull cans could be used as a miniature vase for a flower or two.
2. Rinse out used cans and use them in the garden shed for storing small items such as nails and washers.
3. You could use an old can to practice your putting. Take it to the office and put it on the floor any time you want to practice your putting.
4. Rather than leave your pens and biros scattered all around the house why not put them all together in a used can.
This is just four ideas of what to do with used empty cans. You might well be able to think up many more ideas for recycling cans.
