For the month of August, I’m aiming to collect 500 aluminum cans to deliver to the #Atlanta Habitat for Humanity.It’s not something I can do alone, so I’m finding ways to get help from neighbors.

And, although it would be difficult for you to transport cans to me via the Fediverse, your cheering support is greatly appreciated on this little journey! :successbaby:
Right now, I’m 51 of 500 and excited to get 449 in 24 days!!!! :toucan:

Dropoff number 1 with 55 cans
Statistically speaking, I got lots more work cut out ahead. Not afraid. Excited for the work and collaboration ahead to achieve my goal this month.

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to do dropoff number 4 on Friday. The dropoff container was closed.
No idea why - but I’ll see if they continue to accept cans. I’ll likely continue dropping them off, but without a set goal.

Be aware as an alternate is that you can also take them to a local scrap metal recycler the buys aluminum and then just donate the cash.
There are two recyclers in Marietta near me are paying around $0.40/lb for aluminum cans (but not aluminum foil). No idea about your neck of the woods so you mileage may vary -

@bayport @ShmosKnows mind linking me to those? I have a pile of mixed-scrap that I haven't figured out where to take yet. I'll probably just take it to the Smyrna recycling center since I'd get at most a few cents for it anyways so I might as well just take it to the place that's close but doesn't pay, but I should check out other places just in case I can make a few cents on it.
