Metal waste disposal FAQs
What is done with metal waste?
Non ferrous metal (that has steel or iron in it) is shredded and then melted down in furnaces at high temperatures to create new blocks or sheets of metal.
Is metal a recyclable waste?
Most metals are recyclable. This includes steel, aluminium, copper, silver, brass and even gold – all of which can be repeatedly recycled without their properties being altered. On the other hand, metals like mercury or lead cannot be recycled because it is too dangerous to do so.
Can I put metal in the general waste bin?
You can dispose of some types of metal in your general waste bin or in your recycling bin. This includes:
- Metal buckets
- Cans and metal lids
- Non-ferrous metals (aluminium, copper, tin, nickel and lead)
However, you cannot dispose of large pieces of metal – you’ll need to use a skip bin instead. Find out more: Which Bin?
