What's a eiderdowrhn? Is that a blanket? UK people use these?
Yes, I work at a plant that manufactures metal food cans-they are made from tinplate steel and they are recyclable The process to recycle them involves a detinning facility where the tinplate is removed from the steel so that the steel can be be reclaimed Most curbside recycling programs accept these cans-Waste Management,etcAMG Resources is another scrap metal recycler that may be in your area who generally recycles metal food cans and leftover tinplate scrap around the U.S for the manufacturers of these cansThey collect and transport by rail back to the detinning facilities-there is little to nothing paid for this scrap metal as the cost of removing the tinplate from the steel offsets much of what they will be paidCorporate large scale recyclers are getting less than .10 per lb for waste that they must pre-compact.so don't expect the same payback for the cans as recyclers offer for the more recycling friendly aluminum can (much less energy intensive recycling process) Good Luck!
Cans tend to be made from aluminum/tinThey are defintly recyclable! If you are worried about the sharp edges you can buy a specific can opener that smooths off the edges so you can not cut yourselfThere are also can crushers you can purchase to smush the can down allowing for more room in your recycle bin!
Well most countries around the world now have recycling schemesWherever you're from you should have one somewhereHere in the UK they come to our house and collect it, just like a bin man.
An Eider is a type of duck, it's down - small feathers - were used to make warm quilts called eiderdown quiltsThe bird lines it's nest with down feathers and these were harvested during the nesting season without harming the bird They are not common these days because of central heating, warm man made fibres and the huge cost for the Eider's down
