Smelting aluminum from virgin materials demands a lot of energy, making aluminum recycling a conservative and energy-efficient option. Watch this video to get a glimpse of what happens to the aluminum cans that you toss into your recycling bins in Atlanta.

Americans generate more than one million pounds of aluminum waste every day but, for most of it, this won’t be its first time around. Because metallic aluminum is a very stable material, it’s incredibly recyclable and can be melted down and reused indefinitely. In fact, about 2/3 of all aluminum that has been made is still around, and an aluminum can that you toss in the recycling bin can be back in your fridge containing a new beverage in just 2 to 3 months.
