Recycling aluminum foil is very easy, and "aluminum is 100 percent recyclable and can be reworked indefinitely, without degrading its quality."
One you have used, reused, and perhaps reused again, clean the foil, and simply recycle them with your aluminum cans (soda, beer, etc).
Otherwise, find out if your community recycling program accepts it.
The above quote is from "Reuse, Recycle Your Aluminum Foil" from the Planet Green section of discovery.com

Percentage of waste that is recyclable
I was thinking earlier today, walking along a street on garbage day, about the percentage of garbage that can actually be recycled. I was thinking, still am for that matter, somewhere around 90%. This is based really on my own experience, and how I feel, no scientific hoohah.
If a city/town has a good recycling program, and accepts the vast majority of stuff that generally is thought of as being recyclable, and people compost, be it their own, or in city bins, surely 90% can easily be attained.
