I second your good suggestion for donation of aluminum cans to the Humane Society.
Regarding Covanta, I've seen their on line video and the metal that goes through the process is recycled afterwards. Everything else is burned to produce electricity in a non-polluting manner. In my opinion it's a great system. The recycling we previously did in Virginia had serious problems. The recycled stuff collected was terribly contaminated and there were no buyers. I was delighted to learn of the Covanta system which generates energy and also recycles the metal.
