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.

Specialised Recycling
Because waste metal has value, it can be recycled though many different channels
Note that scrap metal dealers usually only deal in larger volumes.

Like all metal objects: DO NOT RECYCLE if they are rusty.
Rusty metal should be thrown in the trash.
