About 6,533kg of aluminium cans were collected by scores of volunteers, comprising residents, students and employees from around 252 companies who joined the Emirates Environment Group's (EEG's) 16th edition of its "Can Collection Campaign?.
Me being an active member of EEG also participated in the event.
The idea was to gather cans that would normally end up being dumped in landfills and send them to recycling plants.
With the can collection drive, the EEG aims to reach 25 tonnes before the end of 2013, breaking the record since the campaign's inception in 1997. The campaign has till date collected a total of 174,067kg of cans since the launch of the drive.
The campaign, which will run throughout the year, exhorts individuals to bring their collected cans to EEG's office in Jumeirah.
