‘Can for Pets’ program reaches milestone of collecting 300,000 aluminium pet food cans

1MINS READ
The innovative recycling program named ‘Cans for Pets’ funded by Alcoa Foundation and PA Resources Council has reached a milestone achievement of collecting 300,000 aluminium pet food cans in the United States.

The program promises to pay 5 cents to a local animal shelter for every aluminium pet food can recycled through them.

Cans for Pets program was launched in Pennsylvania in 2012 but the benefits of the pilot program expanded to Indiana, Iowa, Tennessee and Texas raising more than $15,000 which was put back into the system to provide medical care, food and adoption support.

PRC Western Regional Director Justin Stockdale says, “As this extremely successful pilot program draws to a close, we’re excited to see Cans for Pets become a sustainable effort, which was the primary goal from the beginning.”

There are many shelters that are part of the program including Animal Rescue League Shelter & Wildlife Center in Pittsburgh, Pa.; Lancaster County SPCA in Lancaster, Pa.; Vanderburgh Humane Society in Evansville, Ind.; Warrick Humane Society in Newburgh, Ind.

The program even invites other animal shelters to join the initiative which serves a dual purpose of sustainability and charity.
