Don’t let that metal hardware that has been sitting around at your house for years go to waste! For February, The ReCollective is taking Scrap Metal in your ReCo Pick Bag. This is in addition to all the other materials we regularly accept!
What is included? Solid metal items such as keys, pots/pans, pipes/valves, electrical wire, cans, rims, door/cabinet handles, hinges, bolts/screws/nuts/washers, and faucets.
What is NOT included? Items with mixed materials such as metal and plastic like some kitchen utensils or many types of e-waste. Devices that have at any time contained oil or gas or other hazardous liquids. Items that don’t fit in the ReCo Pick bag.
Where is it going? We partner with Orange Recycling Services in Durham to give the metals a new life!
In the recycling process, metals are crushed and compacted and melted in a furnace into sheets. This metal is then used by end manufacturers to make new products.
The ReCollective is taking metal bottle caps as a BONUS pick in February. Please put the bottle caps in your own bag and set it beside your waterproof bag. Do not put the bottle caps in your ReCo Pick bag.
What is included? Metal bottle caps.
What is NOT included? Plastic bottle caps.
Where is it going? We partner with local artists to give these materials a good use!
Get ready for the upcoming ReCo Picks!
Reminder: the main item goes in your ReCo Pick bag. The bonus item is ‘bring your own bag’. More information about each upcoming ReCo pick is distributed the month before the pick up.
