Pots, pans and other cookware can be made from metals which can be recyclable. Kent County’s recycling program is not currently designed to accept these types of metals, but scrap metal dealers may be able to recycle your old pots and pans. Check the yellow pages under “scrap metal”, or see other outlets for pots and pans below.
