If my recycling program accepts aluminum cans, will they take aluminum mini-blind slats?

Asked by ETpro (34605points) June 2nd, 2013

I don’t mind disassembling the blinds. The fittings and top rail are recyclable plastic, but if I cut the aluminum blind slats free of the cording, will a recycling program that accepts aluminum, tin (sic) and steel cans be able to add them to the aluminum can mix?

They are trashed, so I can’t donate them to a thrift store. But I hate to needlessly fill up a landfill with them.
