Aspen cans

[kav]

Although I have refilled off a barrel we have an increasing number of cans (a dumpy full)

Any thoughts on disposal as council roadside collection rejected them

cheers

You can apparently put them into household recycling which is what I do. Of course that would only be feasible if you get through as little amount as I do.

Can you put it in household recycling?

 

Surely it's commercial waste

Pretty sure thats what Eddie said. Its probably a grey area though, ie a homeowner throwing the odd can away would be fine..a business throwing away a larger quantity wouldnt

My authority are proper anal about it, I have even seen thier guys transferring stuff they don't like the look of in to the regular wheelie bin. God knows what they would do If they got a whiff of petrol

Haha, it's a good job that Aspen does not smell of petrol then:biggrin:

Save them for bonfire night

Hi all,

 

Aspen cans are made of the same plastic as milk bottles and when fully empty can be put in household or commercial recycling.

 

I would suggest you remove the sleeve / label as most bin men won't know what Aspen is or the type of plastic the cans are made from.

 

Also as stated above if you put a large amount of anything in your household waste it will be declined.

 

I have contacted UK recyclers and after checking they are happy to take the empty cans with the caps/ lids removed.

 

Please contact me direct if you need more help 07568108953 or [email protected]

Cheers chaps i'll try and sneak some in again. Other plan is to tie the dumpy bag up and make a raft

We are mowing yards so have better storage. I thinking about a barrel again. Can someone recommend a decent pump please or is a tap best? Cheers
