What can I Recycle?

 

Metal Recycling

Americans use over 100 million steel cans and over 200 million aluminum beverage cans every day.  Even though the metals are highly recycled, the percentage of metal cans has decreased by about 20\% over the past two decades.  Metal recycling is extremely easy, and the majority of curbside programs accept both aluminum and steel.

Common metal recyclables include:

  • Soda cans
  • Tin cans
  • Auto parts
  • Appliances

Almost all aluminum and steel products can be recycled without losing their integrity.  Since these metals are in high demand, many recycling facilities will even pay you for your tin cans, soda cans, and more.  Metal recycling is one of the easiest things you can do for the environment.
