It’s an annual rite of passage. With the start of the new school year, parents and administrators search for creative ways to raise money to support school programs.
Recycling aluminum cans is becoming an increasingly popular (and environmentally-friendly) fund-raising choice for schools across the country. Whether you choose to launch an ongoing recycling program or hold a monthly recycling drive, collecting aluminum cans can help you raise money – and teach students a valuable lesson about the environmental benefits that come from recycling.
Get students involved in recycling aluminum cans from home and spreading the word to friends and neighbors. Many city and state recycling associations provide recycling bins to make it easier to collect aluminum cans at school and in the community.
With more than 100,000 aluminum cans are recycled every minute in the United States, it’s no wonder that schools have recognized the fund-raising potential. And perhaps best of all, it doesn’t require children to go door-to-door selling candy, wrapping paper or magazines.
