Junk for Jesus! Pop the ring off soda cans and save for the Ronald McDonald House. Recycle all other metal. Place under the fire escape near the rear parking lot. Please, please do not mix plastics or non-metal recycling or trash with the metal. While all metals are recyclable, use separate bags or containers for different metals.
