RECYCLE
STEEL CANS
We
rely on steel cans for packaging our food in durable, tamper-resistant,
shelf-stable containers. We reach for them on cold winter evenings when
we need a cup of soup. We empty their contents into dog and cat food dishes
for our pets. We even polish our furniture and paint our homes with their
contents.
You
may not realize it, but you probably use at least one steel can every
day. The familiar "tin" can has been part of our society for more than
a century. Steel cans package a variety of products, including fruits,
vegetables, soups, sauces, meats, condiments, juice, pet food, cleaning
products, paint, shoe polish, adhesive bandages, coffee and even cookies.
Steel cans are also something else -- recyclable.
And
they have the potential to be recycled over and over again into new steel
products. Read on to find out how you can recycle steel cans in your community.
