Which is the most top rubbish? Plastic bottles, poly bags, cans and so on. But according to the head of Clean UP Australia Day South Australia is the only state where drink containers are not among the top five types of rubbish collected.
Ian Kiernan has repeated invitation calls to other states to introduce levies to cut the number of cans and bottles that are dumped.
"To make cans out of recycled material, you can make seven cans out of the same energy it would take to make one new can," he said.
"So with global warming and emissions, that sort of thing, that's a very good reason to look to increasing your rates of recovery."
Cans harm the soil. So keeping the soil safe it has been an important step
