I try to always look at the packaging and refuse to purchase products packaged in non-recyclable materialI've heard that all cans are recyclableIs this true? Was just at the supermarket and purchased beans and tomatoes to make chiliWhile looking at the label, I realized that some labels read quot;Recyclable Steelquot; others said quot;Please Recyclequot;Are the cans that don't say anything recyclable? My husband says they are but I am not sureBecause for example plastic is not recyclable unless it has the recyclable symbol with a number inside itPlease helpI try my best to reduce my carbon footprint by bringing cloth bags to the supermarket, recycling, composting etcDon't want my efforts to go to waste (no pun intended) by purchasing products thinking they are recyclable when they are notThanks for your help!
