Each year in March Habitat for Humanity affiliates nationwide start collecting aluminum cans for the Novelis Recycling Program, and each year thousands of pounds of aluminum are collected. The 2025 numbers have just been released with a total of 169,684 pounds collected by the 48 affiliates that participated in the program.

Habitat for Humanity NWNJ was recognized in the final report for a July creative social media post depicting Uncle Sam asking for your aluminum, created by Brooklyn Rajnai. The total collected by Habitat for Humanity NWNJ was 2,740 pounds, a considerable amount more than the year before. As a result, the affiliate will receive a grant amount of $2,500.00.

The Novelis Aluminum Recycling Program will resume in March 2026 so remember to save your aluminum, which can be cans, house siding, gutters, and foil containers to help build homes and continue critical home repair projects in Northwest New Jersey.
