How It Works

How Your Recycling Helps

Three simple steps. You drop off, our volunteers do the rest.

  1. Aluminum cans collected for recycling

    Drop off your cans and bottles

    Bring them to the recycling area at Agoura Animal Care Center. We accept:

    • Aluminum cans
    • Glass bottles
    • Plastic bottles marked CA CRV
  2. A Healthcare for Homeless Animals volunteer carrying a bin of bottles at Agoura Animal Care Center

    Our volunteer team takes it from there

    Volunteers collect every drop-off and bring all of the recycling to the recycling center to be redeemed.

Your recycling helps fund medical care that changes what comes next for a shelter animal, and it keeps cans and bottles out of the landfill at the same time.

Every drop-off A cleaner planet.

Every bag of cans and bottles gets recycled instead of thrown away. A cleaner community, and a little good done for the environment.

Why It Matters

Good For The Animals. Good For Our Community.

Medical care changes what comes next for a shelter animal. Recycling gives our community one more simple, everyday way to help fund that care, and it keeps our neighborhoods cleaner while it does.

Funds Medical Care

Every dollar raised helps fund exams, diagnostics, surgery, dental care, medication, and recovery support for shelter animals at Agoura Animal Care Center. One can at a time. One life at a time.

Cleaner Environment

Cans and bottles that might have ended up in the trash get recycled instead. Less waste, a cleaner community, and a little good done for the environment.
