Trash containing aluminum cans

ADOPT-A-TRASH CAN

Aluminum is the gold of recycling. You can easily get more than 30 cans a few times a day if you are willing to get your hands sticky (but please wear gloves).

Please spread the word.

Let's work together to save the planet. You can download the below poster, print it out, and post on your local trash bin.

The Perfect Trash Can :

The perfect trash can is one close to both a liquor store and a convenience store like the one circled in the photo. In my experience, a good trash can easily produces 25 cans a few times a day. Reduce your carbon footprint! A car could drive between one half and one mile with the energy saved from recycling one aluminum can. That's a lot of energy and pollution. Cans can be recycled for cash at your local scrapyard or recycling facility, which can easily be found online. Prices for cans vary from 1 to 5 cents. So it could be a lucrative project for an organization.
