Yesterday I wrote generally on how and where to recycle cans for money, today I’m going to point out specific details on a few cities.

If you live in the Magnolia state of Mississippi, in the small towns of Grenada, Greenwood, Vaiden or Winona – your local cash for cans recycler is going to be Metal Processors, Inc in Jackson.

Metal Processors, Inc
1435 Allen St
Jackson, Ms 39201
Hours : Monday – Friday 8am to 4pm (CST)
(601) 969-2871

I called the facility and the going cash rate for aluminum cans (as of this writing) is below:

.32 per pound
.34 per pound (over 100)

What’s interesting to me is that just 9 months ago according to this Yahoo Answers listing, the going rate was .70 per pound. That is a major and steep drop in value for aluminum cans, and reiterates the current state of our economy.

Did You Know…
Each aluminum can recycled conserves the 95% of energy it takes to create one from virgin aluminum.

Whether you recycle cans for money or for the environment, every bit helps toward the bigger goal of conservation. Be sure to call your local can recycling facility and ask how they prefer the cans. In what shape? How much cleaning? etc.
