C’mon Cape Town, Collect-a-Can July 2010 Collect-a-Can make it possible for anyone to earn cash by collecting cans. Whether you want to earn a few extra Rands for yourself by bringing in the cans you use each month, win money for your school or build a can recycling business, Collect-a-Can are there to help and support you. There are five strategically positioned Collect-a-Can branches across South Africa and one of these branches is located in Cape Town, servicing the Cape Provinces. Collect-a-Can would like to encourage everyone in these areas to start collecting cans and cash in on the opportunities. All used coldrink, beer, food and aerosol cans brought in to a Collect-a-Can branch will be weighed and paid for in cash. This can be a great way to supplement your income, and for those who collect in bulk, it can even become your primary income. Through mentorship and guidance, Collect-a-Can have helped some of their collectors to acquire basic business skills and even grow their own recovery and recycling businesses. Schools can earn money and win prizes for themselves and their learners by entering Collect-a-Can’s National Schools Competitions. Last year Collect-a-Can paid more than R500 000 to schools, in collection fees and prize money, in their National Schools Competitions. This year will be no exception and schools in the Cape Provinces are encouraged to enter the competitions to make sure they get a share of the winnings. In outlying areas Collect-a-Can make use of recycling agents; companies that are willing to pay collectors in the area for their cans and then transport these cans in bulk to the nearest Collect-a-Can branch for recycling. Collect-a-Can are always on the lookout for new agents and encourage businesses that are interested to contact them.
