Options for reuse, repair, recycling and disposal

Take metal items to Redbridge Household Waste Recycling Centre for recycling.

Small, non-electrical, household items made of metal can be disposed of in your green bin.

In this case, small means items that fit comfortably inside your green bin and can be safely moved by our collection crews.

The waste in the green bin goes for incineration and metal is extracted as part of the process and recycled.
