Aluminum Recycling

The house that cans will build!

Greene County Habitat for Humanity is challenging residents and visitors to make a change in life by collecting cans not only to preserve the environment, but also to help build homes for Greene County Families in need of decent housing.  It takes about 2 million cans to build a house (33 cans/lb, $1.00lb, and $60,000.00 to build a house).  Over $30,000 has been received, over the past six years, from the sale of aluminum cans to Novelis Corporation and from winning aluminum recycling contests. 

The goal is to build the “house that cans built” in 2012.

What Can You Do?

It is as simple as popping the can of your favorite aluminum-can beverage, enjoying a cold drink and then taking the empty can to one of the four recycling centers located at:

Old Salem Fire Station

Waste Disposal Station (Meadow Crest Rd)

Police Station (Hwy 15 S)

Publix Super Center
