How do I get rid of tin cans without making trash?
By Ghetty from Granbury, TX
Check in your county for recycling options. Most have a collector for tin cans. I called my local scrap metal business and they accept tin cans also. I had been taking my soda cans to my local SPCA as they collect them for the money for the animals.
If you don't want the bother of recycling them yourself, there's always someone on FreeCycle willing to take anything off your hands. The best part? They'll come get them!
Go to www.freecycle.org to find a FreeCycle group near you.
