So, you’re wondering, can aluminum foil be recycled? Yes… under some conditions.
-
The aluminum foil must be clean.
-
The aluminum foil must be crumpled up into a larger ball, at least two inches in diameter, not left as a sheet.
-
Your recycling service must state that they are capable of recycling aluminum foil. If not, you’ll have to mail it into a recycler that is capable.
-
Note that plastic wrap cannot be recycled, unlike aluminum foil. Also, aluminum foil is easier to reuse at home.
-
You can buy aluminum foil made from 100% recycled aluminum. This is especially helpful when there is some aluminum foil that you cannot recycle.
