Can you recycle and compost these things?

Question

I do hair for a living. The tubes for hair color are metal but a little bit of color is left in there. Can this be recycled anyway or will it contaminate the recycling? I also know hair can be composted, but what if it is chemically treated?

Answer 1

of course you can recycle them just give them a quick rinse out first.  I mean some people out there put worse stuff in, plus they clean it all

Answer 2

I would suggest that you rinse out the tubes and recycle them, however ask your local recycling depot if they will take them, first.

The color treated hair  -just throw in the garbage, natural hair can be composted.
