REFLECTION QUESTIONAt Home Recycle Scrap MetalWere there any interesting items of scrap metal that you didn't realize could be recycled? What types of metal are you now recycling that you didn't before?
Susan Clark 5/17/2021 2:39 PMI was surprised that aluminum (sp?) foil could not be recycled many years ago and it still is not through Hennepin County, or at least I was advised by them that it was not. We recycle everything we can that is metal or take some place that recycles a particular metal if we cannot put it in our recycle bin.
