Why
Recycle Tin Cans?
Tin
cans make up a small portion of Sitka’s waste stream, but every bit
helps! Plus, Sitka can crush and bale tin cans with same baler they are using
for baling junk cars and other recovered metals. So, you’re
tin cans may be shipped south in the same bale with somebody
car!
Where
and When Do We Collect Tin Cans?
At
the Marine Services Center (city cold storage) on Katlian Street. The Center is located near the Petro
marine and auto fuel stations. It is open seven days a week.
How
Should the Cans Be Prepared for Recycling?
Wash
all food or other material out of the can. Remove label. It
is NOT necessary to cut both ends off
the cans and flatten them. The cut out lid can be placed back
in the can after washing. Watch for sharp edges!
