Metals

Yes Please!

The following are examples of the types of aluminium and steel we can collect for recycling: Examples of Cans, Foils and Aerosols that can be recycled

  • Food cans
  • Drinks cans
  • Aluminium foil tops e.g. milk bottles tops and yoghurt tops,
  • Aluminium foil food trays,
  • Aerosol cans (please ensure they are empty, please do not pierce or squash them)

Please remember to wash your cans and foil. Do not squash your cans completely. Please bag any aluminium foil separately. If you are not sure if an item is made of just foil, try the following test; squash the foil and if it doesn't 'bounce back' it can go in the container. If it does bounce back it is not the foil we want and should be placed in the landfill bin. Please follow this link for more information to find out Material Reclamation Facility (MRF)- Uckfield
