RECYCLING
It makes a difference ... for the environment and for
your community!
Did you know that the aluminum can you recycle today
typically ends up back on store shelves as a new can? And that it takes
as little as 60 days?
Over half of all aluminum cans produced in the U.S.
begin the recycling process either at local recycling centers, community
drop-offs, or charity collection sites. Reverse vending machines or
curbside pick-up make up the remainder.
There are many ways you can recycle in your community,
including curbside recycling, which is offered in roughly half of all
communities nationwide. Currently the Aluminum Association and the Can
Manufacturers Institute are implementing a national education campaign
centering around the benefits of recycling at the curb and the financial
benefit of recycling high-value materials such as aluminum cans. When
residents trash a can, instead of recycling that can, they are literally
throwing money away. Learn more. And contact us if you are interested in
becoming a part of our national program.

aluminum cans, how you can make a difference, and where and how to
