The Million Cans Recycling Contest 2026-2027
♻️ 72 Schools. 19 States. One Amazing Mission!
From October 1, 2026, through April 30, 2027, 72 schools across the United States are competing to recycle the most aluminum cans with help from their local metal recycling partners.
The Million Cans Recycling Contest is a win-win: students help protect our planet 🌎, learn the lifelong value of recycling and raise money for their schools. Best of all, each school keeps 100% of the money earned from the cans it recycles!
Every can counts—let’s cheer on our recycling superheroes! 🦸♀️🥫♻️
