How to recycle metal food and beverage cans
Recycle empty and clean food and beverage cans:
- In your blue cart
- At a community recycling depot
This includes:
- Canned food containers (tuna can, soup can etc)
- Cookie, candy and biscuit tins
- Loose leaf tea tins
- Coffee cans
- Pop cans
Special instructions
- Cans with cut out lids or pull tab lids: place metal lids inside the empty tin can and squeeze the top closed (see image).
- Cans with a plastic lid: remove the lid and recycle both items separately.
- Paper labels are ok to leave on.
- Take pop and other drink cans to an albertadepot.ca for a refund on any applicable deposit paid at the time of purchase.
