I know you don't do this for the recognition Andy but well done to you and the others involved to reach this milestone and having the BBC rightly put your good work out there, You should be dam proud my friend.Just a slight correction to the article, the '700,000' cans recycled is in fact since July 2019 and not since the scheme was started in 2005.
Workings; an average can = 18gms. 1,000 gms [1kg] divided by 18gms = 55, multiply this by 1000 = 55,555 cans per tonne. Multiply this by 12.5 tonnes, the amount Cans has recycled since July 2019 = 694,444. Near enough to 700,000 to be 'near'!
If we forecast the next collection on Thursday to be 'approx' 650kg, and, using the same formula, we get 36,111. Add the two together that makes the number of cans recycled since July 2019 to - 730,555.
We have no records as to the amount recycled between 2005 and July 2019, but even at a rough guess, it could be at least a ton, so another 55,000 cans, possibly more.
I look at this photo and think it is only a tiny % of the people of Exeter that are donating to this cause, Imagine if the majority of people donated their cans, The money that would make would be even more impressive than it is now, Mind i think Andy and his team would be knackered!This is what awaits ECC when they come to SJP on Thursday to collect our latest 7 week amount.

And that load weighed in at a brilliant 740kg, realising Cans4City the wonderful total of £586.40. to continue supporting projects within ECFC and the wider ECFC Community.This is what awaits ECC when they come to SJP on Thursday to collect our latest 7 week amount.

Well done Andy. A brilliant effort by you and your colleagues.And that load weighed in at a brilliant 740kg, realising Cans4City the wonderful total of £586.40. to continue supporting projects within ECFC and the wider ECFC Community.
Thank-you to all who donated, be that have been just 1 can picked up on your way to SJP for a match, or 100s of cans from a heavy Saturday night!
