    Where do I place old saucepans both cast iron and aluminium tefal coated?

    Can they go into the green bin?

    Good question...I don't think the recycling end of things is considered when many of these products are being designed.

    My local recycling waste transfer station has gotten in a scrap metal skip in the last 6 months, if they were mine I'd throw them into that. The metal will melt down in the blast furnace and the tefal (plastic) coating will just be incinerated in the super heated furnace.

    Can they go in the green bin? That'd be yes.

    Or else you wait until you have a full wheelie bin full of assorted metal waste, bring it to your local scrap merchant when the prices are up and get a couple of euro for it.

    The market swings wildly so if you time it right and have a bit of copper maybe and some lead, you will get something.
    Metal is easy enough to recycle.
