Aluminum Frequently Asked Questions

---

Aluminum can be recycled over and over and over again. By placing cans in your blue bin, they can be recycled into a new can and back on the shelf in as little as 6O days! It's important to recycle your metal cans. Recycling twenty cans uses the same amount of energy as producing one can from virgin materials.

Can I recycle aluminum foil?

Yes. But it needs to be clean and free of grease and food contaminants.

Do I have to rinse out my cans?

Yes, but they don't need to be sparkling clean. Just a quick rinse will do just fine to clean out those cans.
