Habitat GFW Ranked #3 Nationwide for Recycling Aluminum Cans
Wow. Our Aluminum Can Recycling program has been ranked the third-largest among 52 Habitat affiliates nationwide. Through this community-driven initiative, we raised an impressive $15,944 in 2024!
Our program includes 16 convenient can shed locations across Allen County. More shed locations will be added in 2025 thanks to the support from St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Parish and their Carpenter’s Sons Ministry. Locations to drop off cans can be found at habitatgfw.com/cans.
Habitat 50 gal. cardboard bins are available for free to the community to utilize indoors to help collect large quantities of cans before they can be dropped off at a nearby shed. Request a box for your business, school, or church by emailing info@habitatgfw.com.
Huntington County residents can easily drop off collected cans at Clark’s Recycling in Huntington and allocate their donation to Habitat GFW.

“If I could go back and tell myself as a little girl that everything’s gonna be okay, you’re gonna be okay — you’re going to go to college, get a degree, you’re going to meet amazing people. God has always been there with me and I thank Habitat, my parents, my siblings, my sister, Antonio, my kids because nobody can do things alone.” – Alma, 2025 Habitat Homeowner
