Thanks to everyone that dropped off their cans for our Cans For Seeds Membership Giveaway, we have a HUGE haul of cans that will soon be on their way to @olgin_efune_recycling_co to be recycled!
Did you know that recycling aluminum requires only a fraction of the energy needed to produce new aluminum? The 1,500+ aluminum cans we collected will be repurposed and reused in various applications, such as packaging, transportation, construction, and electronics!
Forgot your cans today? No worries! We collect cans year-round and use the funds from recycling for our Seed Library, located right outside of Admissions!
