Cans for Habitat

Help Support Habitat's mission by donating your aluminum cans!
Collect cans at your home, workplace, church, etc. and we'll provide you with all the collection and promotional materials you'll need.  

Bring your cans to one of the following locations:

Habitat office
Habitat ReStore
JB's Salvage or Bloomington Iron & Metal (be sure to tell them to donate the money to Habitat!)

To get started or for more information please contact Sean Price by email or phone (331-4069).

Top 5 Reasons to Recycle your cans:

If one company, with 5,000 employees recycled all the cans they consume at work for Habitat, one home could be built a year.
•The aluminum industry pays approximately $1 billion annually to recyclers. That money alone could help build 22,500 Habitat for Humanity homes a year for families in need.
•Recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy to run a television for three hours.
•By using recycled aluminum instead of virgin ore, aluminum manufactures save enough energy needed to supply electricity to a city the size of Pittsburgh for about six years!
•If 2,750 households in your community recycle four aluminum cans a day, they can build a Habitat home for a family in need in just one year. That is equivalent to each person in a family of four recycling one can a day!
