Metals are made from non-renewable minerals extracted from the earth. Recycling metal cans reduces mining wastes, air pollution, and water pollution. Metal can be recycled infinitely. The only metal that can be placed in recycling containers is cans (soup, drink, hairspray, etc.). To find out where to recycle other metal objects (wire hangers, lawn furniture, aluminum foil, car parts, etc.) visit HamiltonCountyRecycles.org. To receive free technical assistance, indoor recycling containers, and signage to start or improve your school recycling program, email Cher Mohring or call 513-946-7737. |
