37 of our 54 amazing schools have had their cans picked up so far — many bins are still filling up! 🗑️♻️
Schools not yet listed are simply waiting on their first pickup… stay tuned! 🚛✨
Our leaderboard ranks schools based on the total number of aluminum cans recycled divided by the number of books we send over.
Each student in the selected grade receives their own copy of The Girl Who Recycled 1 Million Cans (in English or Spanish). They read the book, share the message, and help teach their entire school — and their families — why aluminum cans should never go in the trash. 🥫💚
We update the leaderboard every time we receive an official scale ticket from our metal recycling partners.
Thank you for your patience — and keep those cans coming, superheroes! 💪🦸♀️✨✨

When a school reaches 75,000 recycled aluminum cans, their recycling superheroes earn a pizza party to celebrate their hard work and teamwork — and because they rallied their whole school and community to collect cans! It’s our way of saying THANK YOU for keeping cans out of the trash and helping protect our planet. Amazing job, superheroes — thanks a MILLION! 💚
