Do aluminum trays that you use to cook in have to be recycled?

Question

Im not sure if I have to recycle those thin metal tray that you can place in the oven and cook in. If they are mandated then I would have to scrub something I bought to avoid dishes.

Answer 1

Your local laws regulate the"have to be".  Common sense says they should be!

Answer 2

I THINK SO, DEPENDING ON YOUR TOWN AND STATE LAWS

Answer 3

Aluminum trays can be recycled and even before all this recycling became as common an activity bottle tops and cooking foil were collected and sold and many Scout and Guide companies bought their equipment from the proceeds Aluminum is one of the easiest materials to recycle There is no reason why you should not reuse the dishes till they are noloner usable and then recycle we should incurage people to reuse, use for an other use and at the end recycle

Answer 4

no you don't have to recycle them you can just trash them but if feel like you need to recycle then you don't need to clean the pan. they melt the pans and the food will separate from the metal. hope this helped.

Answer 5

The great part is that they CAN be recycled! Aluminum foil, aluminum pull tops, any aluminum (that doesn't have another metal or polymer mixed in) is recyclable and often adds more mass than a soda can.

Answer 6

I am my own man. I say, chuck the metal trays in the garbage, then forget about it. You feel better for doing this action, because first of all, its not against the law. 2. Its hassle free.

Answer 7

yes they do, i always recycle mine,ask at your local recycle depot . not all authorities are the same
