What & Where to Recycle INDEX > Grass Metals

Recycling metal helps in saving the supply of raw materials and reduces the amount of energy used in production.In addition to aluminum and steel cans, most kinds of metals can be locally recycled including steel used in building, bronze and copper.

Make sure your metal cans and containers are empty and clean when you put them in the recycling bins. Local recycling firms prefer that aluminum cans not be squashed as they can be more easily made into bales if they have not been pre-squashed. Lids of steel cans should be pushed into the clean can and the open end squashed together to prevent the lid falling out.
