Steel Cans

Steel cans come in a range of sizes, and include food cans, coffee, oil, paint tins (click here for more information about paint) and aerosol cans. Steel bottle tops and steel jam jar lids are often also accepted by companies which accept steel cans, but make sure you check first before delivering these items.

Will SITA Environmental Solutions accept my steel cans?

Steel cans, bottle tops and jam jar lids are accepted for recycling at all these SITA facilties.

Before delivering steel cans, bottle tops or jam jar lids, please:

• Remove the lid completely.
• Rinse the can thoroughly.
• Place the lids inside the can (place bottle tops and jam jar lids inside as well).
• Press the can flat near the top of the can (this saves space and prevents injury to those sorting).
• Place the cans out for collection.
