Can you recycle metal pots and pans? Yes! Areas that are served by Pellitteri Waste Systems (Madison, Sun Prairie, Verona, Middleton, Fitchburg, and more) can recycle all pots and pans. While some of these have mixed materials, it isn't enough to contaminate the final product. Other recycling haulers may have different rules on these items. If Pelliterri does not serve your area, ask your hauler for confirmation before recycling them. Other haulers may not accept pots/pans that have: 🍃Non-stick coating 🍃Mixed materials such as wooden or silicone handles 🍃Ceramic coating Check out answers to common recycling questions and see local guidelines at sustaindane.org/better

Alrighty, who remembers buying oil packaged in one of these containers? And then puncturing the top with a spout to "really really carefully" add oil to the engine? Cylindrical shaped oil cans became common in the 1940s. Cardboard was introduced into the container's formation and utilized from the 1950 to the 1980s. Plastic oil containers, made of polyethyelene, have pretty much been around since the 1980s. As for the oil companies shown in the above brands, Quaker State and Shell date back to 1912 and Speedol goes back to 1921. Many thanks to V. Meza, Neal Road Recycling and Waste Facility, for passing along the photo. #garbagetalk #solidwaste #wasteoil #oilrecycling #motoroil #environmentalprotection #environmentaleducation #americana #edutainment

In 2023 the UK collected and recycled more aluminium packaging than ever before. According to annual data published on the National Packaging Waste Database by the Environment Agency, the UK’s aluminium packaging recycling rate hit an impressive 68% in 2023. A record-breaking 162,357 tonnes were recycled nationwide, including more than four in five beverage cans (81%). Despite a rapidly growing domestic market, aluminium packaging collected through kerbside, bring and on-the-go systems increased by 13% year-on-year (115,382, compared to 102,195 in 2022). Elsewhere, tonnage recovered from incinerator bottom ash (IBA) shot up by 17% (45,632 compared to 38,982).

Sometimes, numbers speak volumes —the 162,357 tons of aluminum recycled in the UK alone is proof that recycling metal packaging is worth the effort. However, as always, there’s room for improvement. It’s time for all stakeholders, including brands, manufacturers, and local governments, to join forces and take action. We need to prioritize raising awareness and educating consumers about recyclable materials and the recycling process. Consumers should have confidence that their recycling efforts will make a meaningful impact. #WeContainWhatMatters
