Recycling Bins & Chutes
Clean metal which is not rusty is welcome in the recycling system.
Like anything you put in the recycling bin, rinse it first if it has food waste.
If the item does not fit easily into the bin, dispose of it as bulky waste or use one of the options listed under Specialised Recycling.
