What do you do with your cans once you’re done with them?
Hopefully the answer is “pop them in the recycling “.

Yes, as satisfying as stamping on or crushing a now-empty can of pop can be, you’re actually invalidating the whole point of trying to recycle.
This warning comes from the senior director of public affairs at the Aluminum Association, Matt Meenan, in the US.
