Do: Recycle food and beverage cans, clean aluminum foil and trays and all empty aerosol cans.
How: Containers should be rinsed out, but labels need not be removed. Place them in the recycling bin with glass and plastic containers.
Don't: Conventional paint cans or metal containers that were filled with potentially hazardous materials such as pesticides, glues or solvents are not recyclable. Bring these items to a Household Recycling Day. Aluminum siding, scrap metal, wire, pipes, tubing motors, sheet metal, appliance and auto parts are recycled under separate municipal programs. Call your municipality for details.
