Are single serving cat food cans and/or lids recyclable as aluminum?

Question

I'm trying to do the Green Thing and it's surprising how much they can add to the landfill. Thanks for your help. Love you.

Answer 1

...Check the can...

Answer 2

There's usually a symbol on cans or any kind of recycable product. But I would assume it is recycable sheet metal. Depending on where you live you should check out how to dispose of it properly.

Answer 3

I think they're steel, which is also recyclable, but check the label. It should say.

Answer 4

if you want to go green with your pet.. you will buy larger cats.. not single serving size.. which by the way is a marketing scam.. a cat should only have 1 teaspoon of canned food per feeding.. and dry all the time..

you can mix the canned food with water to improve urinary tract health..

Answer 5

As a recyce plant supevisor, specialising in the recycling of metals of all types, i cantell you that the cans are mde of steel. Irregardless of what metal can recycling bank you put them in, the local recycling amenity should have a sepeation method, I personally have a team of 4 men who seperate trash as it comes along a conveyor belt and put it ALL into seperate containers, which is then recycled in differing manners. All metals (except non ferris- copper, alluminium, zinc ect) are picked up by a magnet and carried of to another  container where it is sent for scrap vaue, your tins would be recycled in one way or another, dependant on material

Answer 6

See if a small magnate will stick to it. If it does, it's a "tin" (steel) can.  If it doesn't, it's aluminum and can be recycled with aluminum cans, sardine cans, vienna sausage cans, spam cans, etc.
