Metals
Paint cans
Paint cannot be recycled in your local council’s kerbside recycling bin, box or bag. If the paint tins are empty and the residual paint has dried out, you can double wrap them and put them in your kerbside rubbish bin. Small amounts of paint (up to five tins) can be recycled at some local Household Waste Recycling Centres.
METAL FACTS:
- The kerbside recycling process is only designed to sort steel and aluminium cans and tins and they should be empty and rinsed clean of food / liquid.
- Larger metal metals items can be recycled at any Household Waste Recycling Centre in Merseyside and Halton.
