The 2 Million Cans Initiative in Tacoma, Washington, is gaining momentum as a community-driven effort to collect and recycle cans for a good cause. Building on the success of the 1 Million Cans Man project, this expanded initiative highlights the top General Managers (GMs) leading the charge in each zip code during the first quarter. These GMs play a crucial role in organizing local teams, motivating volunteers, and ensuring the initiative reaches its ambitious goal of two million cans. This post explores the zip code map of Tacoma, introduces the top GM leaders, and explains how this initiative is making a real impact.

General Manager (GM) New
A General Manager or (GM) is one who is leading the way in recycling aluminum cans in their zip code in 2026.
At the end of every month, additional GM's will be announced as new zip codes are added.
A GM's status can change from month to month. The more cans you collect the longer you can remain as the GM of that zip code
What does a General Manager do?
The General Manager tries to recruit others within their zip code to join the 2 Million Cans Initiative. The easiest way to do this by start recruiting from your own neighborhood.
For every recruit that meets the guidelines below, the GM will earn an incentive of
$10.00 per recruit when each recruit reaches 300 cans within their first 90 days.
You may recruit as many homes or business locations as long as you hold the GM status.
Understanding the 2 Million Cans Initiative
The 2 Million Cans Initiative is a community recycling program focused on collecting aluminum cans across Tacoma’s neighborhoods. The goal is to gather two million cans, doubling the previous milestone of one million. This effort not only promotes environmental responsibility but also supports local community projects funded by the proceeds from recycling.
