Every year thousands upon thousands of tons of trash is thrown into landfills. Though we are in no immediate danger of running short on landfill space, this is expensive in terms of space, time, and energy invested, along with the sheer waste of materials that will not ever be used again. With that in mind, consider these reasons to keep your steel and aluminum cans out of the landfill by recycling them.
Each and every year thousands upon thousands of tons of trash is thrown into landfills. Though we are in no danger of running short on landfill space, this is expensive in terms of space, time, and energy invested, as well as the sheer waste of materials that will not be used again. So, consider these reasons to keep your steel and aluminum cans out of landfill sites by recycling them instead. 1. Aluminum which has been recycled is back in use again within a couple of months. In contrast, it would take 200-500 years for that metal to break down naturally if were just thrown away. 2. Recycled steel and aluminum are have exactly the same composition as 'new' aluminum and steel. Recycled metals are simply melted down and mixed into lots to make new products, which can then be recycled again when they are finished being used. 3. Metal cans can be exchanged for cash at many places. Various states offer five cents per can recycled, and certain centers offer between a dollar and two dollars for every pound of cans recycled. 4. Recycling is not just about material savings, but also about energy consciousness. Each aluminum can recycled saves enough energy to run a tv for 3 hours; one pound of cans recycled will save enough energy to run it for four days! 5. The 100,000,000 'new' steel cans produced every day contain 25% recycled materials. That is the equivalent of 25 million reclaimed cans vs. 75 million completely new cans. If people recycled more frequently, that number could easily become 50-50 and a great deal of energy and resources would be saved. 6. There are can crushing machines available, including some that can be made at home for almost no cost. This removes the a commonly used excuse that recycling cans takes up too much space.
