Recycle Aluminum Cans

every can counts

The Habitat Can Program is ranked #3 among 52 Habitat affiliates nationwide! This program is a yearlong fundraiser where anyone in the community can participate at any time. It allows us to engage with students in our community and partner with businesses and churches that want to support Habitat families uniquely AND keep aluminum out of landfills.

All aluminum cans are recycled locally by the help of Habitat volunteers and the funds received help us build affordable homes in our community.

  • Lime green shed for recycling aluminum cans — sign on side that reads "every can counts"

  • "Snider Panthers" with thermometers made from construction paper to track recycling of cans
  • Recycled cans in bin next to shed that says "Every Can Counts"
  • Trailer with signs that read "5million cans builds a home, Habitat logo"
  • cardboard box that reads "every can counts"
