Cans! Cans! Cans!
Please donate your aluminum cans to our recycling project. The Red Rock Audubon Society collects aluminum cans to purchase classroom subscriptions of AUDUBON ADVENTURES for the Clark County school children. Contributing your aluminum cans for recycling is an easy and environmentally conscience way to help our cause. Children are our future and need our support in every possible way! We have recycled cans and accumulated more than $5,000 since beginning this project in 1994, but our continued success depends on your participation.
What are you doing for the next 500 years or so…?
Aluminum cans that are recycled could be back on the grocery store shelf in as little as 60 days! Without recycling, cans are taken to a landfill where it takes between 100-500 years for just one aluminum can to decompose. You can help the Earth, and raise funds for RRAS at the same time, by donating aluminum cans for recycling. Not only does this bring in much needed funds for our chapter, it also helps keep our neighborhoods and parks cleaner and free of unsightly litter, and reduces landfill use. Aluminum can be recycled over and over and over and over…
How to help: Bring clean (and preferably crushed) cans to any general meeting. Remember aluminum CANS only… no plates, foil etc. Felix Owens will collect the cans in the parking lot before the meeting begins. You may also phone Felix at 702-395-5510 to arrange a special pick up.
Recycle ink cartridges!
Don’t forget to recycle ink cartridges too! Cartridges could take about 1,000 years to decompose, so recycling and / or re-manufacturing is crucial! Working with Empties4Cash.com, RRAS collects inkjet and toner cartridges for recycling, and in turn raises funds to help support our organization. You can participate by donating empty cartridges and encouraging others to recycle.
How to help: Drop off the cartridges at any general meeting and we’ll send those little monsters back for recycling! Arrangements may also be made by contacting us via our website email.
