    I'll play along
    1. Nothing good.
    2. Just about anything that can be made with aluminum.
    3. No idea.

    * Recycling aluminum cans saves precious natural resources, energy, time and money.
    * Aluminum cans are unique: within 60 days, a can is recycled, turned into a new can and back on store shelves.
    * Aluminum is a sustainable metal and can be recycled over and over again.
    * In 2007, 54 billion cans were recycled, saving the energy equivalent of 15 million barrels of crude oil—America’s entire gas consumption for one day.
    * The aluminum can is the most valuable container to recycle and is the most recycled consumer product in the U.S. today.
    * Today it is cheaper, faster and more energy-efficient to recycle aluminum than ever before. The aluminum can is 100 percent recyclable and can be recycled indefinitely. Using recycled aluminum scrap to make new aluminum cans, for example, uses 95 percent less energy than making aluminum cans from strip mined bauxite ore, the raw material used to make aluminum.
    * Other types of aluminum, such as siding, gutters, car components, storm window frames and lawn furniture can also be recycled.
    * Aluminum has a high market value and continues to provide an economic incentive to recycle. When aluminum cans are recycled curbside, they can help pay for community services.

    That's an interesting answer, I never knew these facts about recycling. I generally separate materials in difference disposable containers for recycling, our local <a href="http://www.couserhauling.com/">junk removal MD</a> company is in connection with the main recycling lines, they've even created a local infrastructure to make things easier for us. Now I am curious to know facts about the other recycling materials as well.
