Collect-a-Can is dedicated to ensuring that used beverage cans, (UBC's) and consequently tinplate, exist in harmony with the environment. Driven by a need to empower local communities and individuals, it is a non-profit making company.

Although Collect-a-Can recovers all forms of used steel packaging and also off-cuts of virgin material from which cans are manufactured, it focuses mainly on steel beverage can recovery.

This is to ensure that the steel beverage can is environmentally friendly, and its contribution to litter diminishes. An important part of this is creating the awareness that beverage cans are 100% recyclable.
