Aluminum Can Recycling Fundraiser
A big THANK YOU to everyone donating aluminum cans for recycling. A few days ago, our "can man", Gale Kristof, delivered another 100 lbs. or so for $126. Please bring your cans to next week's meeting, April 11. I do have a few comments:
1) I never gave much thought to how much space "uncrushed" cans take up until we decided to use my back yard for storing them. Please crush/smash your cans if at all possible.
2) The "Ensure" cans are not made up entirely of aluminum so we don't get the same amount of money for recycling them as we do for the beverage cans. If you could keep these in a separate bag, it would be immensely appreciated.
3) Having custody of the donated cans, I've noticed FOOD CANS in the mix. WVGS cannot recycle these cans. If you have curbside pickup for recycleable things, please put food cans with your plastic recycleables or donate that collection to the Lions Club collection sites.
If you're not sure if a can is aluminum, grab a small magnet. If it sticks to the can, IT'S NOT ALUMINUM. Tricky, huh?
