Metal is valuable. There is only a limited amount of it on our planet, so it’s important to keep it out of the landfill so it can be used again and again. Recycling metal also helps protect water quality and wildlife habitats because it reduces the amount of new metal that must be mined. Metal cannot be created, but it can be continuously recycled.
Clean metal food containers, foil, pie plates, and aluminum drink cans go in blue-bin, mixed recycling.
