How to Recycle Cast Iron
Cast iron cookware, pipes, and automotive parts.
Quick answer
Yes, cast iron (cookware, pipe, radiators, machinery) is heavy ferrous scrap and fully recyclable. It's too heavy and bulky for curbside bins, so take it to a scrap-metal yard; even rusty cast iron is accepted since rust only affects weight, not recyclability.
