A typical aluminum can can take about 200 to 500 years to decompose in a landfill. However, because aluminum is highly recyclable, it's more environmentally beneficial to recycle cans rather than allowing them to sit in a landfill for such a long time. In contrast, steel cans may take even longer, potentially up to 100 years or more to break down. Proper recycling helps reduce the need for raw materials and minimizes landfill waste.
