Guiness cans-recyclable?

[Maple Leaf Mama]

My neice is visiting and is a Guiness drinker.
I'm wondering if they can be recycled with the plastic ball left inside? DoI needto remove the ball? How can I do that?
TIA!

I don't think so. I used to cut the bottom of the can off and recycle the top aluminum part.

I just toss them in the bin. I think they do the same things with them as they do with labels and tabs and the such. Did you ever see how they do it? Sometimes it's this giant munching machine that crunches everything up then they run it through a magnetic bath type dealy that seperates the different weight/molecular compound items. Pretty neat. I wouldn't worry about it.
