Scrap metal - Waste A-Z

What to do
Scrap metal items that are smaller than a saucepan can be placed in your general household waste bin.

Other recycling options:

Ideally all metal should be taken to local Household Waste Recycling Centre and placed in the 'scrap metal' container. 
 
Alternatively, once you have built up enough to take, metal can be taken to scrap metal dealers who will pay to take it off your hands.
 
Search for local dealers online or in the phone directory.
