Recycled aluminum is useful in many areas of the manufacturing process. The American Aluminum Association says aluminum is used to build cars, NASA studies aluminum for the components of its next spacecraft, aluminum roofs are becoming more and more popular, aluminum siding has been used for years in homes and mobile homes, aluminum foil has been used for years in food and pharmaceutical packaging, electricians have been using aluminum wire in building houses since 1901, and probably many more remain on this list.
The beauty of aluminum is that it is 100% recyclable. Aluminum is used many times and never loses its properties in the recycling process.
There are many aluminum recycling companies. Some people melt aluminum and sell the recycled product for cash. However, some people buy aluminum, melt it, mold it, and use it to build all kinds of products.
One example is a company that manufactures most of its products from recycled aluminum. Of the products they manufacture for gardens and patios, most are aluminum. The list of some of the products made is as follows:
-
Bird baths, hanging and pedestal
-
bird feeders; single-tube feeders, double-tube feeders and tallow feeders
-
Clocks; clock and thermometer combinations
-
Decorative hooks; used in hanging feeders, bird tubs, bird boxes etc.
-
Eagles on masts
-
Garden hose holders
-
Mailboxes
-
Personalized house addresses and names
-
Sundials; to the ground or base
-
Tea lanterns
-
Thermometers
-
Twilight lanterns

It’s amazing how shiny and new old aluminum can look recycled. It can be painted in many colors, some vintage and some new. The products you choose define the look of your garden or patio at any time of the year.
Some standard colors included; black, brown, gold, silver, red, blue, green, yellow and just about any combination of primary colors imaginable.
Vintage colors, i.e. copper patina, oil bronze and French bronze.
There are several reasons why you should buy recycled aluminum products. Of course, concern for the environment is obvious. According to the Aluminum Association, 75% of all aluminum ever used is still on the market,
Then there’s the cost. Recycled products are cheaper to manufacture, which makes them less expensive than materials that are more difficult and costly to manufacture.
The goal of recycling aluminum garden and patio products is price, and the environmental impact of recycling has an environmental impact.
Most websites that offer recycled aluminum products point out this fact on their websites.
