5 YEARS OF INCENTIVIZING RECYCLING

Writer's picture: 1millioncansman1millioncansman

Updated: Jan 1, 2024


It all started in December of 2018 with just a few cans here and there. Many miles of walking and driving, reaching, climbing and digging for aluminum cans that were tossed out as waste. We collected 788 cans in our first 30 days of our journey to

1 Million Aluminum Cans. See how we've grown over the years.

  • December 2019 - 31,275

  • December 2020 - 72,049

  • December 2021 - 116,651

  • December 2022 - 183,401

  • December 2023 - 227,233

  • December 2024 - 369,999 (Projected)


As we go into the new year, we are shooting for the moon. We believe it is very possible to reach a total can count of 1 Million Cans by year end.


Let's continue to do the numbers.
