Show Safeway stores to recycle aluminum cans One of the largest aluminum recycling recycl-ing programs in this area will begin operating during regular store hours at all Safeway stores in the Salt Lake City Division of Safeway Stores, Inc. which includes all of Utah, Southern and Central Cen-tral Idaho, Western Wyoming and Eastern Nevada beginning June 1. "Under this ecology minded program", pro-gram", explained Gene Lawson, Vice president and Division Manager of Safeway's Salt Lake City Division, "all of our 63 stores will pay 24 cents a pound or 1 cent each for aluminum cans." Lawson further stated, "We intend for this program to help clean up the local environment. Also, this will help reduce energy costs since recycling aluminum from scrap uses a lot less energy than smelting aluminum from bauxite. |
