Almost all metals can be recycled.  Metal items that are not food containers are considered "scrap metal."  Examples of scrap metal include:

• lawn mowers (fluids drained)
• snow blowers (fluids drained)
• metal grills
• bicycles
• cast iron sinks/bathtubs
• metal fencing
• metal car parts
• most other metal items
