When you finish a drink and toss your bottle or can, you may not think about where it goes next. In New York, there's a great chance a canner will collect it along their route, and sort it among hundreds of other bottles and cans, and bring it to a place like Sure We Can.

Earning a living by canning is arduous work. As a community-sensitive redemption center, we offer support that canners can't get anywhere else.

We're disappointed by the anti-bottle bill comments from Kathryn Garcia, Hochul aid & former DSNY Commissioner.
What's incredibly problematic is the fact that the Hochul admin can't recognize the value of NY's most effective recycling system.
The bill works, & modernization would be a win for NY!

Last month, a team of our canners, staff, & board travelled to Vancouver to exchange with fellow members of the North American Alliance of Wastepickers (NAWPA): Binner's Project, Groundscore Association, & Coop Les Valoristes. A great week full of sharing ideas & building solidarity!
