Before you toss that old appliance...

Ask yourself: How much of it is metal?
Appliances can contain recyclable metal that shouldn't automatically end up in the trash.

If you're replacing an old appliance, check with us about what we accept before tossing it!

Do you have leftover metal from a home project?

Maybe years of collecting metal parts?

Cleaning out a garage or barn?

Whatever the reason, we're here when you're ready to recycle it!

What is ferrous metal?

Here's the easy way to remember:

If a magnet sticks to it, it's ferrous! 🧲 Ferrous = contains iron

Steel and iron are common examples.

Copper, aluminum, brass and steel all have something in common.

They're recyclable!

Keeping valuable metals in the recycling stream means those materials can have another life instead of becoming waste.
