Metal

Do not recycle small items such as nails and screws unless you separate them from your other scrap metal. Nails and screws must be collected in their own container and brought to the recycling center where they must be given to one of our staff members. They damage our equipment when they are in the bin loose. Place recyclable metal in the recycling bin DRY and LOOSE, no bags.

Take This To

Recycling bins are located throughout the county for cans and small metal items. View all recycling collection sites.
