How do local authorities recover steel cans ?
Local authorities are keen to include steel in their recycling plans because it can be cost-effectively recovered through a number of different schemes, helping to achieve the Government’s recycling targets. The three most popular recovery methods are: • Magnetic extraction – steel cans are recovered automatically from ‘black bag’ waste using simple electromagnets. • Kerbside collection – materials for recycling are sorted at home and collected from the doorstep.
