Melting cans is a well understood waste of time. With practice you can learn to crush them with your foot. It has a strangely satisfying effect. I warmly recommend it. They take up much less space in the recycling.Just melted another load of beer cans...as well recovering ali it reduces the collection point of shame....no I'm definitely not alcohol dependent....I'd know wouldn't I?
The interesting part is ...I reckon they're ~50% plastic? How do the real recyclers cope with the stuff? The energy used isn't recycled either. Is it all just a myth?
