Metal

There must be a recycling bin for scrap metal when there are a minimum of five households within the property. The community management will maintain recycling points for other homes in different areas of the city. From the links listed below can be found those recycling points in the areas according to the postal code, where there is a recycling bin for scrap metal:

40100	40200	40250	40320	40340	40400
40500	40520	40530	40600	40630	40640
40660	40700	40720	40740	40900

The following can also be placed for recycling in the recycling bin for scrap metal:

	tin cans
	small objects, dishes, lids and tops made of metal
	empty, dry paint pots NO aerosol cans NO batteries NO electric or electronic waste NO tin that has been used to cast New Year’s charms

TIP: Also clean aluminium foils and metal casing of night-light and outdoor candles can be recycled with scrap metal. The foils that have still food in them must be placed in non-recyclable waste bins.

TIP 2: Take all of the drink cans, including those you do not get your money back for, back to the shop’s recycling machine. The aluminium from drink cans is easy to recycle when it is already separated from other scrap metal. Returning all of the drink cans to the recycling machine also saves space in the metal recycling bins.

Large items of metal, like bicycles, stoves, car parts, etc, can be taken to Mustankorkea or scrap yard. Information about free scrap metal collection can be found on Autokierrätys Oy’s internet pages.

Recycled metal will be used to produce new metal items.
