Local Trash Collectors (Saleng)
Tin and aluminum cans are more valuable to local trash collectors than other items. They can sell it for more than various plastics. Wash and clean them and put them in a separate bag by your trash bin for local trash collectors..
Testimony 2: Aluminum and steel is very valuable to the garbage collectors. They love to have metal items to sell as well as PET plastic bottles.
Testimony 3: Put all tin cans, aluminum cans and metal cans into one bag. When the cans are collected, the collectors wash and remove labels when separating before sending selling to specific companies who do smelting. The trash collectors on the three wheeled trikes will be over the moon as all metal has the highest value compared to other recyclables.
