Every aluminium can has a second life waiting to be written. When recycled, it can be back on store shelves in as little as 60 days, saving energy, cutting waste, and keeping valuable materials out of landfills. Now, Fayette County is giving residents a simple way to be part of that cycle of renewal.

Fayette County has rolled out a brand-new aluminium can recycling trailer, now parked at the corner of McDonough Road and Highway 54 in Fayetteville, right across from the fleet maintenance department entrance.

Thanks to the Georgia Firefighters Burn Foundation, which provided the trailer at no cost, recycling aluminium cans is now as simple as a quick drop-off. Every can collected helps protect the environment while fuelling a cause that truly changes lives.

The initiative is part of the Georgia Firefighters Burn Foundation’s long-standing Project R.E.A.C.H. (Recycling Every Aluminum Can Helps). Since its launch in 1986, the program has collected over four million pounds of aluminium, generating more than USD 2.2 million to support hospital burn units, fire prevention efforts, and recovery services for burn survivors.
