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:
- Accepted metal items just need a rinse to remove any leftover residues, then they can be popped in your recycling bin.
- Larger metal metals items can be recycled at any Household Waste Recycling Centre in Merseyside and Halton.
