Leicester City Council launches new recycling campaign to encourage households to recycle more cans

EDITED BY : HEENA IQBAL 2MINS READ

Leicester City Council has launched a new citywide campaign to encourage city households to recycle more cans, foil and aerosols. With support from the UK metal industry, the ‘Make Metals Matter’ campaign will target over 140,000 homes and aims of reminding people to recycle all of their household metal packaging waste.

Leicester City Council has collaborated with the Aluminium Packaging Recycling Organisation  (AluPro) and MetalMatters – an industry partnership comprising the UK’s leading producers, users and recyclers of metal packaging – as part of a national campaign.

People can recycle household metal packaging by giving it a quick rinse and putting it their orange bags for kerbside recycling. This includes food and drink cans; foil trays; empty aerosols; metal screw tops from bottles and jars; and aluminium foil used for baking and wrapping food. The recycling would help save around 4,500 tonnes in carbon emissions

Deputy city mayor Cllr Adam Clarke, who leads on environment and transportation, said: “The climate emergency has encouraged lots of people to stop and think if there is more that they could be doing to cut their own carbon footprints. This campaign is a useful reminder of the wide range of metal packaging that can be easily recycled in everyone’s home.

“A simple action like making sure your empty bean tin makes it into your orange bag can help make a really big difference.”

Rick Hindley, executive director of project managers Alupro, said: “It is great to be able to work in partnership with Leicester City Council to promote the recycling of metal packaging.   This campaign has delivered significant increases in the amount of metal packaging collected for recycling in other parts of the UK, so we are aiming to repeat – and hopefully better this – in Leicester.”
