Ok.. I was wondering if it's possible for me to recycle baked bean cans (steel)? And if so in Western Australia (that's where I live)?I love baked beans... and I also like skateboarding, so I thought if I kept my baked bean cans, that I could get them recycled somewhere and turn it into something I could skate on (rail, etc.). I'm just curious to know if all this is possible...Cheers. :)
Most baked beans are cooked with pork and include a piece in the can. Depending on what kind of vegetarian you are, you could eat them and simply remove the piece of pork, or, Bush's has vegetarian baked beans which are obviously cooked without the meat seasoning. They are very good, and of course beans are an excellent and needed source of protein in a vegetarian diet.
Steel is one of the most recycled materials on the planet... Unless you know a recycler/steel refiner/manufacturer however, it would be mighty difficult for you to have someone melt down all your baked bean (a somewhat American dish, I'd say) cans. Plus, think how many baked beans you'd have to eat to be able to build anything of substance. Don't know where you would take it in Australia - I'm in the US where a lot of municipalities collect mixed recyclables.
