Steel food cans and their lids

Food cans

Yes. You can usually recycle food cans via your local authority’s kerbside collections or at your nearest recycling bank.

How should I recycle food cans?

  • Give cans a quick wash out to remove any food remnants.
  • Unless your council has advised otherwise, labels do not need to be removed.

Remember...

...pet food cans are recyclable too!  Steel is 100% recyclable and can be reprocessed again and again without loss of quality.
