In California, non-CRV (California Refund Value) aluminum cans cannot be recycled alongside CRV aluminum cans for redemption purposes. However, both types of cans can be recycled together in the general recycling stream. It's important to separate them if you're taking them to a recycling center for CRV refunds, as only CRV cans are eligible for refunds. Always check local guidelines for specific recycling practices.

Why are aluminum can recycled more often than steel cans?

Aluminum is easier and cheaper to mass produce than is steel. If you recycle aluminum, you get more money for aluminum than for steel only because manufacturers have for decades focused on aluminum as the cheaper way to manufacture so many things. Aluminum is lighter in weight; is more easily bent into desired shapes; can be easily separated from other metals (chemical process); and is easily shipped to manufacturing plants. As one example, in the earlier days, airplanes contained steel and were heavier, cost more in fuel, etc. Now, all airplanes are made of aluminum shells, are lighter in weight, use less fuel because it is lighter in weight, and all of the aluminum can be recycled. Same with automobiles.
