About These Items
These metal screwtop lids often come on glass jars for food products. They are typically small in diameter. The City of Pittsurgh does not accept these lids with curbside recycling. Instead they should be dropped off at a collection point.
Drop-off at Construction Junction or City drop-offs.
There is a public scrap metal bin outside the building entrance to Construction Junction. Check in with the recycling drop-off staff there before you dump your scrap metal.

The city’s 3 weekday drop-off locations–East End, Hazelwood, & West End–also accept scrap metal.
If you know of another scrap metal drop-off location in the city that accepts these items, let us know.
