Metal

Most metals, including steel, aluminium, stainless steel, copper and brass can be recycled at the Island’s Civic Amenity sites. 

Steel in household waste is recovered after it has been through the incineration process. This post-burn metal is sent off Island for recycling. 

There are a number of licensed companies who accept and pay for scrap metal (for example cars) for shipment and recycling off Island.
