Bottles and Cans Recycling - Planet Alameda California

It's not only the money. When you recycle bottles and cans you benefit the environment in a variety of ways. Materials that are reused reduce the demand for more mining and gas & oil drilling activities; recycled materials don't wind up in landfills; they don't litter our cities, parks, open spaces, and waterways.
