Hole punch

Hi Jessie,

Thank you for sending the image to help with your enquiry.

Hole punches cannot be placed in kerbside recycling bins because these systems are designed for everyday packaging waste like food cans. Other metal household items, including hole punches, are typically not processed through kerbside recycling.

However, scrap metal like your hole punch can often be recycled through dedicated metal recycling or waste management facilities. Please use Recycle Mate to find the nearest location where you can drop off scrap metal for recycling in your area.

If no suitable recycling option is available, please dispose of your hole punch in your general waste bin.

Recycling scrap metal is important as it conserves finite natural resources and requires less energy than producing new metal from raw materials. Metal can be recycled repeatedly, making it a valuable material to recover.

Thank you for your enquiry. Every question helps us improve recycling solutions. Feel free to contact Recycle Mate anytime with your recycling questions.
