How much money do you get for recycling aluminum cans in Florida?
absolutely nothing :/
How much recycling occurs with cans?
Of the 102 billion aluminum cans produced in 1998, 63 percent (or 64 billion) were recycled, according to The Aluminum Association.
Why does recycling reduce energy?
It is much easier to produce, say, aluminum cans from recycled cans. Making the cans from raw bauxite (aluminum ore) takes 21 times the energy. Glass and plastic are much the same.
How much money do you get for recycling aluminum cans in North Carolina and where do you go?
i think 5 cents
How much money would you get recycling a pound of beer cans?
It depends on how much a pound of aluminum is going for. The fact that they're beer cans won't make any difference.
How much money do you get for recycling aluminum cans in Georgia?
4-5 cents. im guessing 5 cents per can the price for aluminum cans is .75 per 1lb
How much money do you get for recycling cans in Kentucky?
It depends on what aluminum is worth at the time you sell the cans. The price can fluctuate from 15-cents per pound to 70-cents per pound. You can call the recycling company to learn what the current price is.
Is recycling a Enviromental Policy?
Yes it is. Recycling saves a lot of energy. It's much easier to make steel and aluminum cans out of recycled cans than it is to make them from scratch. Same with paper from paper, rather than from trees. Same with glass. Same with plastic.
How much money can you get for recycling aluminum cans in Tucson?
you would get 502 monkeys with 22 penguins
What do they make by recycling metal cans?
My understanding is that ALUMINUM cans are melted down (and purified) and then (probably by adding to new aluminum ore) smelted into 'fresh' aluminum, that can be used for ANY process or manufacturing that uses aluminum...even potentially into brand new aluminum cans (or aluminum foil, etc.) Processing of Aluminum Ore (?bauxite?) uses HUGE amounts of electricity. I have seen aluminum referred to as "solid electricity" the process requires so much of it. At one point Aluminum was the most expensive metal in the world, even more than gold. That's one reason why the top of the Washington Monument in Washington DC is a block of solid aluminum...as it was so valuable. Remelting and recycling used aluminum is much more energy efficient than the processing of bauxite ore to obtain aluminum. Recycling not only keeps more materials out of landfills, it saves energy at the same tme! Steel cans (are there any steel cans any more?) would similarly be recycled by being added along with other steel scrap to blast furnaces smelting iron and steel. As with aluminum, it helps create 'new' steel for all sorts of manufacturing. The car you drive today may have been part of a WWI or WWII battleship, or maybe your dad's or grand-dad's old 57 Chevy. (Although, in the case of the 57 Chevy, it may have been worth more in that configuration than its worth after recycling!)
How do you convince your family school or community to recycled aluminum cans?
People are far more likely to recycle if a recycling container is conveniently located where they usually consume their beverages, especially if they don't have to empty it. It might also help to inform them that it takes a tremendous amount of electricity to separate aluminum from bauxite, the ore in which aluminum exists in nature. Much, much less energy is needed to recover aluminum from existing aluminum products, like cans.
How much aluminum cans per pound?
31 cans equal a pound
