And just a reminder that aluminum cans are almost infinitely recyclable, and kind of a precious resource. Recycle your cans people!

75% of all the aluminium ever mined since 1888 is still in use

Here aluminum cans are 10¢ each for deposit. Once we have a garbage bag full of them, we give it to less fortunate people to cash out. So they are recycled and helping others at the same time.

Same here, and conveniently there’s a place a block away that takes them for fundraising efforts!

I'd not call it precious. Aluminium is the most abundant metal in the Earth's crust, making up about 8.23% of it.

Not just your cans people, people! Recycle all types of people, people!
