Do your classmates drink soft drinks out of cans? Does your school collect the cans? If not, ask permission to setup a can collecting spot. Then organize to have your parents bring you to Action Recyclers and collect your money. You can then give back to the school and environment!

RECYCLING FUN FACTS!!!
- The 36 billion Aluminum cans landfilled last year had a scrap value of 600 million dollars.
- Everyday Americans use enough steel to run a steel pipe line from New York to Los Angeles and back to New York.
- Recycling a single run of the Sunday New York Times would save 75,000 trees.
- Recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy to run a TV for three hours -- or the equivalent of a half a gallon of gasoline.
