Office manager Lucy Lynch with cans and crushed and baled

Turn used aluminium cans into money with Crow Recycling in Coventry. 

Crow Recycling is appealing for used aluminium drinks cans to recycle. The cans are crushed and baled at the Crow warehouse in Coventry. Then they’re sent to metal dealers to be sold on to aluminium recycling plants and turned into new cans. 

Crow Recycling will pay 30 pence per kg for cans brought to the warehouse in Sparkbrook Street, Hillfields.  

Crow Recycling office manager Lucy Lynch said: “Not only can people make some money from collecting aluminium cans but they can help the environment too. Aluminium is infinitely recyclable. Although there’s plenty of it in the ground it’s much cheaper to recycle than to extract through mining. That’s because separating aluminium from its ore is a more expensive process than melting down used aluminium and making it into new cans. 

“It takes less than 10 weeks for an aluminium can to be recycled and back on the shop shelves.” 

Crow Recycling is a registered charity running a recycling and reuse social enterprise to provide volunteering opportunities and work placements for disabled people, mainly people with learning difficulties.
