info About Karma Can Cycle
Karma Can Cycle is a community-first recycling initiative built to keep local wealth inside Craven County. Unlike traditional waste haulers, Karma Can Cycle operates on a radical transparency, 100% profit-sharing model that transforms routine household and commercial aluminum scrap into direct mutual aid.
Every pound of aluminum collected is processed locally, with net resale proceeds divided into three dedicated buckets:
Direct Family Relief
Directly funds support initiatives and financial assistance for local New Bern-area families in need.
Collector Reward
Reinvested back to the resident, household, or business partner saving and providing the cans.
Processor Compensation
Fairly compensates the local workers who crush, sort, and haul materials for scrap resale.
By bridging the gap between everyday consumption and grassroots community aid, Karma Can Cycle offers a zero-cost, high-impact way for residents, restaurants, bars, and offices to build a cleaner, stronger neighborhood.
