How to recycle metal food and beverage cans

Recycle empty and clean food and beverage cans:

  • In your blue cart
  • At a community recycling depot

This includes:

  • Canned food containers (tuna can, soup can etc)
  • Cookie, candy and biscuit tins
  • Loose leaf tea tins
  • Coffee cans
  • Pop cans

Special instructions

  • Cans with cut out lids or pull tab lids: place metal lids inside the empty tin can and squeeze the top closed (see image).
  • Cans with a plastic lid: remove the lid and recycle both items separately.
  • Paper labels are ok to leave on.
  • Take pop and other drink cans to an albertadepot.ca for a refund on any applicable deposit paid at the time of purchase.
