Tinfoil – Can it be recycled?

March 1st, 2009 @ // No Comments

Yes, you can … You can recycle foil at your nearest recycling bank.

How should I recycle foil?

  • Always wash your kitchen foil thoroughly before recycling.

As well as foil, you can also recycle these other aluminum items:

  • Milk bottle tops
  • Barbeque and freezing trays
  • Cigarette and tobacco foil
  • Screw top lids from wine bottles

The scrunch test

It’s important to note that items such as crisp packets are not made of aluminum foil (which is a thin sheet of metal) but of metallised plastic film, which is a plastic film coated with a sort of metallic ink.  Therefore you should not include these with your aluminum recycling.

Do the scrunch test  -  scrunch an item you’re not sure about in your hand and, if it springs back, it’s not aluminum.
