Our clientele includes schools, restaurants, pubs, conference and wedding venues, office parks and shopping centres but we strive to expand by giving back and doing our part to conserve Mother Nature and serve the communities .

- It can take up to 80 years for a steel can to decompose, while it can take an aluminium can between 200 to 500 years to decompose.
