New York (Scrap Register): Every Can Counts is working with  independent petrol station owner Chartman Group to provide can recycling  facilities on its forecourts.

A pilot scheme has been launched to see whether drivers recycle cans on the  forecourts using Every Can Counts bins with the aim of rolling it out to  others.

Every Can Counts brand manager Jonathan Easthope said: “Recent research has  shown that 44% of all drinks cans purchased in the UK are consumed outside of  the home, so petrol forecourts are in a strong position to help customers easily  recycle these empty cans on the go and do their bit.

“This is the first pilot scheme of its kind for the sector, so we are  delighted to be working with the Chartman Group and hope to encourage other  forecourts to get on board as a result of this activity.”

Research has shown that 3% of drinks cans are bought at petrol stations in  the UK, which adds up to 18 million per week.
