Recession creates tin can mountains
Updated on 13 January 2009
A collapse in the price of steel has forced recycling companies and councils to stockpile mountains of tin cans.
Councils in Gloucestershire have been struggling to sell off tin cans because of the global economic downturn.
Forty tonnes of cans are being stored at a depot in Stoke Orchard, near Bishop's Cleeve, and last month the mountain reached 80 tonnes after the price of steel halved.
