5 Common Household Items to Recycle
Stainless Steel Appliances
Outdated or broken stainless steel appliances such as fridges, ovens, and dishwashers are ideal for recycling.
To get the most value out of your stainless steel appliances, it’s essential to ensure they are clean and free from non-metallic attachments. Removing any plastic or rubber parts can increase the price you receive for your scrap
Aluminum Pots and Pans
If your aluminum pots and pans were recently replaced, don’t let them take up space in your kitchen. These items are excellent sources of recyclable aluminum and can be turned into cash.

Copper is one of the most sought-after metals in the recycling industry due to its excellent conductivity, durability, and versatility.
Copper wiring and plumbing are typically found in older homes where they are used in electrical systems, water supply lines, and heating systems. When these systems are updated or replaced, a considerable amount of copper can be salvaged.
