Can I recycle bobby pins? i use lots of them but once they are bent out of shape thier useless -?

Question

can they go in the recycleing bin?

Answer 1

I think you can

:]

Answer 2

I would think so, they are made of metal.  If you put your recycle out with your trash, ask the person who picks it up or just put in it your bin & see  if they take it.

Answer 3

im sure you can, slip them in with your aluminum cans

Answer 4

haha, why would you want to recycle them they aren't meant to be thrown out silly.

Answer 5

It is metal my dear and can be change

Answer 6

that is a mighty fine question. i have often wondered the same thing. i usually end up bending them into an "L" shape and then throwing them in a can or something. but cans are recyclable. so maybe if you hide them (since they are metal) in metal recycling containers like cans.....you can?!?!

Answer 7

you can recycle any metal like that so i guess you can recycle bobby pins nice choice of recycling 2 make the world a better place

good luck with ur recycling

Answer 8

sometimes it takes more energy to recycle that just to throw out. like paper. it takes 2 tons, just to save 12 trees. 2 TONS!!! thats a lot of paper. is it worth it?

Answer 9

I spoke to the Phoenixville Superintendent today and presented your question.  His answer: "No, put them in the trash; we aren't set up for that kind of material yet."
