Finally! I'm got of that blue bin I was in after a few hours. Once again, though, I was in something dark and moving. Now that I've thought about it, I'm think I was in a truck of some sort, because there were a lot of different types of me laying around in the bags. The bumps and turns finally stopped after about three hours of solid movement, and boy am I glad that my can was empty! I heard a loud noise and suddenly the dark room became very bright. The bag I laid in was picked up by a man and he took me into a large, noisy factory.
The man carrying myself and the other cans was heading towards a big machine that had water spritzing out of it. I saw other cans like myself going in with different colors on them from the soda companies and then coming out of the machine with a shiny silver color. I was placed on a conveyor belt and once the light turned green on the big black tunnel ahead of me, I started moving. Water spritzed at me from every direction and suds appeared as I was getting cleaned. After about ten minutes of being cleaned, I was collected in a bin and awaited the next process. I knew the next part wouldn't be good because ahead of me there was a large furnace with steam and melted aluminum coming out of it. I was scared, I don't like the heat! I wanted to scream when another man came back and picked up my bin to throw into the furnace. I held my breath, hoping I'd lose consciousness to escape this. After a few seconds of waiting, I felt the melting sensation that was getting rid of impurities. I felt myself become very gooey and slippery, and soon enough I melted into the trays that were collecting the pure aluminum, only to be recycled and used again.
