  most recyclers don't want it because most of its weight is rotting food; the aluminum is ten times thinner than a sheet of paper, a human hair, or (most relevantly here) a beer can but yes, there's no technical difficulty in recycling it; it isn't like greasy paper where the grease messes up the recycling process
