My local recycling center has a large dumpster for "scrap metal." The Altoids containers are probably some kind of steel, maybe plated with another metal to prevent corrosion. They may well go in the same bins as metal food cans.

Yeah I keep some of mine too... but there's a limit to how many tins I can use, lol. (I eat a lot of altoids... wonderful candies.)Originally posted by: So
Sure. I generally keep my altoids tins, as they're good little boxes, but you could certainly throw them in the recycling bin.

Some metals like steel you just don't get anything for really ($.05 a ton) but it's still a good idea to do.
