I'M sorry that the Guide Dogs for the Blind Centre at Lowndes Street, Bolton, have stopped collecting aluminium foil (article in the BEN on April 19).

But can I assure your readers that local community groups across the UK are becoming increasingly involved with well-organised foil recycling schemes, which are already raising more than £1m each year for good causes.

To find out more, and get a list of local aluminium foil recycling opportunities, telephone the Aluminium Packaging Recycling Organisation (Alupro) on lo-call 0845 7227722.
