Hi Cameron,
Thank you for your recycling enquiry.
Steel pipes and other scrap metal items cannot be recycled through your kerbside recycling bin. Kerbside systems are designed to process household packaging materials like food and drink cans, not larger or irregular metal objects.
However, steel is highly recyclable and can be dropped off at your nearest metal recycling facility or local waste and resource recovery centre. These facilities often accept scrap metal items at no cost and ensure the materials are properly recovered and reused.
Recycling metal helps conserve limited natural resources and reduces the energy required to produce new products from raw materials. Since metal can be recycled repeatedly without losing quality, it's always a great choice to recycle wherever possible.
Thanks again for reaching out. Feel free to contact Recycle Mate anytime with more recycling questions.
Thanks,
Murphy
