There is a plan to revive the 'Cans for City' scheme, and hopefully, we should be able to get it off the ground in time for the Chesterfield game on 20th Dec.
The current rate for SORTED aluminium cans is 40p per kilo, which is £400 per ton, a figure not to be 'sniffed at'. These amounts are equivalent to something in the region of 45,000 cans, a huge amount but it should be attainable.
Initially there will be 3 or 4 cages positioned near the main turnstiles at Stadium Way, OG and somewhere in or around Red Square.
As such would any fans who have empty aluminium cans, that they would like to give to this fund raising scheme, please bring them along to SJP anytime convenient and put them in the cages provided. On non match days a cage will be positioned in the recycling area, in the left hand corner of Red Square.
To make things a little bit easier for the people who are going to sort the cans can i ask that, if possible, the cans are rinsed, sorted and bagged before being brought to SJP.
As a polite reminder, the way to tell the difference between ALUMINIUM and STEEL cans is that a magnet does NOT stick to ALUMINIUM, a fridge magnet is a handy and readily available tool to test which can is which.
If there is a good response then, in time, more collecting points around SJP will be used.
Finally, the proceeds from 'Cans for City' will be used for special projects and NOT just dumped into the general kitty.
