What does 230,000 cans look like?

What a fantastic experience we’ve had baling recyclables at Boomtown Fair this year!
Working alongside the brilliant Ryan’s Cleaning, we were busy throughout the festival separating out card, cans, plastic and glass to be crushed and baled ready for recycling. Using the Recovery Line for all the waste, the team were able to check and separate all the materials as they went along, ensuing that our bales were 100% clean before being sent to the recycling facility. This ensures we’re maximising potential recycling rates.

It was great to see lots of cans coming through from Drip Water – canned water is a huge improvement on bottled: cans are infinitely, and quickly, recyclable. Chances are, by the time you’re reading this, the metal we processed at Boomtown Fair has already been recycled, reformed into new cans and is already back on the shelves, or even in your hand already…
