Nationwide Recycling Competition

Each year Springfield competes against Habitat for Humanity affiliates nationwide in an aluminum can recycling competition. The grand prize is $50,000 to build a Habitat home.  More than 100 business, schools, churches, and many other organizations and individuals collect "Cans for Habitat."

Want to help?

Please recycle your
 "Cans for Habitat"

All cans donated to Habitat Springfield during the week of Monday, April 20 - Saturday, April 25 will be matched by CMC Recycling and proceeds will be given to Habitat Springfield to help fund Habitat home building.

Stop by the Habitat ReStore during regular business hours to receive your free recycling bin.

Since 2002, Springfield has raised more than $55,000 and recycled almost 3 million cans.
