The aluminum can is the most recycled drink container on the planet. That's a lot of containers! But did you know that by recycling your cans, you are not only saving energy to run things like your TV, but you can also help charities and groups that do good things earn money?
Recycling aluminum cans has been a popular way for organizations to make money for more than30 years. The aluminum industry pays roughly $1 billion a year for empty aluminum cans...just think about how that money can help groups like Habitat for Humanity, the Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts of America, and even your local school! That money can help people in your town build new houses, learn new skills, or pay for field trips.
