Aluminum recycling is a very important part of any family and community recycling program. Aluminum recycling is one of the easiest things you can do to help the environment. Recycling of aluminum began long ago and started to become commonplace back in the early 1970s. As an added bonus recycling centers will pay you for your aluminum cans and scrap aluminum.
| Aluminum is 100% renewable. This means that the can you take to your local recycling center today becomes a new aluminum can. There are no waste products in the process making aluminum a 100% renewable resource and one of the best things you can recycle. You might be surprised to know that within 60 days an aluminum can is able to go from your recycling center and become a brand new can to be used by consumers.There are many options open to you for your aluminum recycling needs. In most areas you can take your aluminum recycling items to your local recycling center, a community drop-off recycling center, a reverse vending machine, curbside collection or charity collection sites.Your local recycling center, or community drop-off recycling center, will take all of your cans and scrap aluminum products and pay you for them by the pound. Right now the price of aluminum is about $1.30 a pound, but varies by area and date. For reference a large kitchen trash bag of cans, not compacted, will pay about $3.50 at the $1.30 per pound price. |
Many areas have now installed reverse vending machines. To use one you insert your cans into it and in return the machine
pays you for them. Locally our machines require your cans to be in their original shape, not compacted down, and you can feed them in one after another. Once you have fed in all of your cans you push a button and get a credit receipt which can be cashed in or used at the local grocery stores where they are located. The great thing about the reverse vending machines is that you can use them at any time of day or night. They are very convenient and easy to use.
Here in the United States many places now offer curbside recycling. The local waste management company, which picks up your regular garbage, will give you special recycling containers to put your aluminum recycling, paper recycling and plastic recycling items into. On an agreed upon day of the
week the local waste management company will come by and pick up all of your recycling items. While they will not pay you for them, they do sell the materials and you see the result as a lower trash removal bill.
Community charity organizations sometimes place aluminum recycling containers out for you to put your extra aluminum cans in. They then take the cans to your local recycling center and use the money for their charity.
No matter which option you choose, recycling is very important to both your family and your community. Aluminum cans are one of the best items you can recycle because they are 100% renewable.
