Aluminum Recycling Facts

- Bullet Used aluminum beverage cans are the most recycled item in the U.S., but other types of aluminum, such as siding, gutters, car components, storm window frames, and lawn furniture can also be recycled.
- Bullet Recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy to run a TV for three hours -- or the equivalent of a half a gallon of gasoline.
- Bullet More aluminum goes into beverage cans than any other product.
- Bullet Because so many of them are recycled, aluminum cans account for less than 1% of the total U.S. waste stream, according to EPA estimates.
- Bullet An aluminum can that is thrown away will still be a can 500 years from now!
- Bullet There is no limit to the amount of times an aluminum can be recycled.
- Bullet We use over 80,000,000,000 aluminum soda cans every year.
