Recycling
 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.
