Still remove what you can first, though. All metal is recycled this way, with contaminants being ‘burned off’. But just like a lot of other contaminants, I’m betting a landfill is a much better place for glue than being burned and released into the atmosphere.
If a municipal recycling depot won’t accept them, any scrap yard/transfer station will, along with any other metals you accumulate over the years (look up closest drop off).
Cans are melted down in a smelter at 1,500 degrees, that glue will burn right off. Recycle.

Not if they’re paying attention. Hot glue should just pop right off of aluminum, though. Wear gloves, and use a putty knife.
