Pots and pans are made of metal, which means they can be recycled and shouldn’t be thrown in the trash. However, most curbside recycling programs won’t accept them. The easiest way to properly dispose of your old pots and pans is to have them picked up and hauled away by LoadUp. As an eco-friendly junk removal service, we work with local recycling facilities to find alternate disposal options to the landfill, including recycling as many items as we can.
