When you’re ready to turn in your cans:

We can come to you to pickup your cans. Just leave your cans outside and contact us to say they are ready for pickup.(This is the most convenient option).

OR

We can schedule a place and time that works best for you. (Making life simple)

We are based in University Place near Whole Foods.

​

What Do We Do with The Cans?

We Collect

Once we have been contacted by you, we come to where you are. We sort through your collection to remove what is not aluminum. (Sometimes our customers are confused by what is aluminum and what is not)

​

​​We Count Every Single Can by hand)

That's right, we hand count every can we receive. Then we create a profile for each of our donors. We appreciate all our donors, no matter if they have donated just one can or thousands of cans, everyone's contribution is important to us.

​

We cash in all the cans

We resell the aluminum cans we collect. But  wait.....

We share that cash with our donors in many different ways. Did you notice our slogan at the top our page?

"We Make Recycling Worth Something"

About Our Donors

​

We currently have over 290 members who are just as passionate about recycling as we are. Most of our members donate their cans because they believe in what we are doing and want to see us achieve our goal of reaching 1 Million Cans.

​

Some of our members are quiet and like to remain anonymous and refuses to accept any rewards for their hard work. Some are competitive and like a challenge. We have donors who are weekly donors and some who donates just one can at a time while there are a few that donates over 500 cans at a time. No matter what their style or preference is, we welcome all our donors and appreciate their contributions.

​

Our donors are motivated by being able to keep up with how much they have contributed. To help them set their personal goals, we've created a status chart for them to be able measure their success.
