Bottles and cans are commonplace items amongst households. Rather than throw these in the garbage, you can reduce pollution, cut greenhouse gas emissions, and conserve energy by recycling your bottles and cans instead.

Did you know that recycling your aluminum cans reduces energy consumption by 95%? When aluminum cans are recycled, they’re melted down and reformed as new cans which requires much less energy than producing aluminum from scratch. Plastic bottles are made from petroleum which is a non-renewable resource and glass requires a lot of minerals, energy, and water to produce. By recycling your bottles, you reduce energy consumption and conserve resources.
