Cans

Photo of the Week by Froggy

I got the children to collect these. I had to half fill them with water to stop them blowing over in even a slight breeze.

How and where did the children collect them from? The number and range of the offerings is considerable. Were they all 'found' discards or cans they had personally emptied? There is the basis for a wonderful social blog in this image!

No they weren,t all personally emptied. I had them picking up discarded cans fromt the street and elsewhere. The enjoyed the hunt for cans for dad!

Really colourful image...really like it.

They did well finding so many pristine looking cans.

I normally sqeeze an empty can like this before binning it.

Years ago you used to collect aluminium cans for cash...do they not do this any more?

I dutifully squashed and saved my cans for a year or so and bagged them up. When there were enough to fill the back of my estate car I took them to the scrap metals dealer - who weighed them in and gave me £13. Now I just bin them.
