Just arrived home from Wetherspoons in Plympton. Have we any connection with Tim Martin that could prove fruitful?
I believe he lives in Teignmouth. Not sure he's a football fan.

Sadly Adrian, Weatherspoons do mainly draft beers, but if you could persuade them to go over to can.........
Never mind Andy, I've currently got about 500 of my own at home (mainly soft drinks!!)

This is my understanding.

Never seen him walk past my house in Tebbern

Just a slight correction to the article, the '700,000' cans recycled is in fact since July 2019 and not since the scheme was started in 2005.

Workings; an average can = 18gms. 1,000 gms [1kg] divided by 18gms = 55, multiply this by 1000 = 55,555 cans per tonne. Multiply this by 12.5 tonnes, the amount Cans has recycled since July 2019 = 694,444. Near enough to 700,000 to be 'near'!
If we forecast the next collection on Thursday to be 'approx' 650kg, and, using the same formula, we get 36,111. Add the two together that makes the number of cans recycled since July 2019 to - 730,555.

We have no records as to the amount recycled between 2005 and July 2019, but even at a rough guess, it could be at least a ton, so another 55,000 cans, possibly more.
