Question

Can you recycle steel veggie cans. I see the recycle symbol on them, do you just put them in the recycle bin?

Answer 1

You still eat veggies out of a can?  Yes u just rinse first and away they can go. U should try frozen much better than can or fresh is even better although i still buy cream corn i love it on rice or mashed potatoes.

Answer 2

yes but you have to make sure that you take off the labels and wash them out most of the veggie cans are actually made out of a very heavy aluminum anyway so it shouldn't be a problem

Answer 3

Most certainly!  Only the bottom portion of the can-NOT the top of the can that you cut off to open it-thats too sharp and dangerous to deal with at the recycling plant.  Just throw that in the garbage (unfortunately).  Be sure to rinse the can out and tear the label off (I recycle that too with my paper products!).

Answer 4

You should be able to recycle them.  Just rinse them out and put them in the bin!!  Yay, planet earth!  Keep recycling!!

Answer 5

Yes we've been recycling them for over 20 years, all we have to do is rinse them out, remove the labels and toss them on recycling day.

Answer 6

Call Public works and ask--every area is different.  You will want to rinse first as to not attract bugs/

Answer 7

well, there will be a number inside the little recycle sign. Do some research of what numbers you can recycle.

Answer 8

It depends on whether the recycling program in your area will accept steel.  Check with your sanitation department.
