Metal hook

Hi Erin,

Thank you for your recycling question.

Metal hooks are generally not accepted in your home kerbside recycling bin because they are small and can slip through the sorting equipment. Kerbside systems are designed mainly for everyday packaging like food and drink cans, so other metal household items usually can’t be processed.

Recycling scrap metal is important because it conserves natural resources and uses less energy than making new metal from raw materials. Plus, metal can be recycled repeatedly without losing quality.

To recycle your metal hook, you can take it to a local scrap metal recycling facility or a household waste management centre that accepts scrap metal.

If that’s not possible, please dispose of the metal hook in your general waste bin.

Thank you for your enquiry — every question helps us improve recycling solutions across Australia.

Feel free to contact Recycle Mate anytime with your recycling questions.

Thanks Murphy
