Aluminum Containers & Trays
Instructions
Container should be all aluminum and mostly clean and dry. Wipe out food into compost and crush (if possible) before putting in the blue recycling cart.
Alternatives
Opt for a reusable container instead, and carry it with you.
Facts
Aluminum products come from bauxite ore mined in countries such as Australia, China, and Brazil. Mining is associated with a number of environmental and social concerns, but metal can be continuously recycled so the need for more raw material can and should be minimized, as with increased recycling.
