We Recycle
Aluminum is made from a natural resource called Bauxite Ore. This ore is found in rocks and must be mined, it is not a renewable resource which means that once it is gone, we will not have anymore.
It can take 80-100 years for aluminum to decompose when it deposited to a landfill.
Our Aluminum waste can be recycled into packaging and containers (beverages, food), building materials, automobile and aircraft construction, appliances (stoves, refrigerators), toys, picture frames, decorative home décor (Bowls, vases, etc), baseball bats, and more.
Once the Aluminum waste leaves our facility it is shredded, decontaminated, melted and poured into forms. The entire process takes about 90 days. It can be recycled over and over again, forever.
Recycling aluminum uses 96% less energy than it takes to produce the same amount of aluminum from raw materials. 95% of air pollutants are eliminated and 100% of solid waste is kept from landfills. Recycling one ounce of Aluminum can save enough electricity to operate a TV for up to 3 hours.
