Generally it will be included with other nonspecific waste and sent to disposal sites such as landfill sites. Here it is buried under tons of dirt and waste and left. Due to aluminum's chemical nature, it degrades unbelievably slowly unless it comes into contact with specific disruptive chemicals.As a result it is a very bad idea to not recycle cans as it is a waste of the Earth's limited aluminum reserves, and the energy required to refine new aluminum for the cans is also quite great.
It would depend on the size and weight of the coke cans, but on average, you could expect around 40-50 empty standard 12-ounce coke cans to weigh about 1 kilogram.
Around 60% of aluminum cans are recycled each year in the United States, which amounts to approximately 60 billion cans. This high rate of recycling is due to the fact that aluminum can be recycled indefinitely without losing quality.
Aluminium cans can be recycled indefinitely without losing quality. The recycling process allows the aluminium to be melted down and reformed into new cans, making it a sustainable material.
When aluminum cans are recycled, they are typically sorted, cleaned, melted down, and then formed into new aluminum products. These products could include new beverage cans, bicycle frames, or building materials. Recycling aluminum saves energy and reduces waste going to landfills.
The raw materials used to make drink cans are primarily aluminum and tinplate. Aluminum is used for the body of the can, while tinplate (steel coated with a thin layer of tin) is used for the can's lid and base. These materials are chosen for their durability, ability to be recycled, and cost-effectiveness.
Recycled coke cans
Approximately 75-80% of a recycled aluminum can will be used to make new cans. It takes about 3,320 recycled cans to make a ton of aluminum, assuming each can weighs around 0.5 ounces.

It is commonly turned into soda cans or other aluminium products.
Around 105,784 cans are recycled a minute, so if you multiply that 1440 (minutes in day) about 152,328,960 cans are recycled in a day.An average of 113,204 aluminum cans are recycled every minute of every day
