Recycling is one of the easiest ways to do right by the planet, but doing it correctly takes more than tossing old metal into the bin and calling it a day. While most of us know we should recycle, the how of it often gets murky.

Rinsing out aluminium cans, cleaning up old cookware and removing non‑metal parts from small appliances is the tip.
And if you're still crushing your cans flat before tossing them? Don’t. Experts say that this can mess with sorting machines that rely on shape to ID and direct materials to the right place. The bottom line is that steel and aluminium can be recycled endlessly without degrading, so it’s worth doing right.
