Do you throw it away and forget all about it? Probably! But behind the scenes there are people whose job it is to make sure that the steel is never wasted In fact, recycling or re-using steel cans is so successful that every day of the year more than five million cans start new lives in new steel products After you have thrown away your can, what happens? Well, first of all it is collected by the men who empty your dustbin each week and taken to a tip, together with all the other household rubbish Then the rubbish is stored and the steel cans are taken separately to a special factory which turns dirty old cans into high quality steel It's this steel which may well find its way back into your home in the form of knives and forks, garden equipment and, of course, food and drink cans So the next time you open your fizzy drink just remember where your can may have been! 77 What is the writer trying to in the text?
