Ways Of Disposing Softdrink Cans
ways of disposing softdrink cans
Answer:
1
Empty the soda cans completely. Rinse out the cans with clean water and turn them upside down on a towel to drain.
2
Collect the cans in a recycling bin marked for aluminum cans only until the container is full.

Find out which recycling opportunities exist in your community and decide which you want to use. The simplest way to do this is to contact your municipality’s sanitation or solid-waste disposal department and ask about your options. If your town offers curbside recycling, the sanitation department will send you instructions on participating, including a calendar of pickup days for your neighborhood.

If your town does not have curbside recycling, take the clean, dry cans to the nearest recycling or buy-back center. Your local sanitation department may have a list of local centers that accept aluminum; otherwise, use a searchable site like Earth911 to find a recycling center near you.

Inquire at local supermarkets to see if they accept soda cans. A few states have bottle deposit laws that require supermarkets to accept the cans and pay a small fee — a few cents per can — to the person who drops them off. This fee is technically the return of a “deposit” every consumer pays when he purchases a beverage in an aluminum can in that state — it’s a measure put in place to encourage consumers to be responsible with this type of waste, recycling it instead of throwing it in the trash.
