Stainless Steel recyclers in Calgary

[black_2.5RS]

We are replacing a kitchen sink in our condo and was wondering if anyone knows a place in Calgary that recycles stainless steel sinks. Do they pay for sinks? (similar to places that recycle pop cans?). I would hate to send this to a landfill - since stainless steel will never degrade in our lifetime.

Try any of the metal recyclers?

uhh yes it will



all you have to do is take a chunk of steel wool, ( that is TRUE steel), get through the coating and just rub it on the stainless

EDIT***

let me rephrase that, you need to get some true CARBON steel, cause technically stainless is true steel as well

i am honestly glad to see people taking initiative on the environment front

You could contact the fire-hall and see where to recycle your sink. They deal with a lot of industrial items like chemicals and batteries. They have a kean eye on our environment and might provide some solution. Another idea is to try selling it online. You'd be surprised about the people who look for stuff like that especially in drama/theatre. I hope this helps. It's awesome that you're looking for a place that it can go where it wont fill another hole in the ground.

any sheetmetal shop, machine shop or alike will take your sink. we all get paid for our scrap. i think steel is at .02c/lb right now.
