Why Recycle?

Recycling aluminum and steel cans directs valuable metal into new products, saving 95 percent of the energy required to manufacture aluminum from scratch and 74 percent of the energy needed to make steel.

• 
  
  One hundred percent of a recycled aluminum can ends up as another aluminum can in as little as 60 days
• 
  
  An aluminum can has no limit to the number of times it can be recycled
• 
  
  Aluminum is the most recyclable of all materials: it is four times more valuable than other recycled consumer materials
• 
  
  Throwing away a single aluminum can is like pouring out six ounces of gasoline
