    Does anyone know if safety pins can be recycled? Not re-used, recycled.

        seriously! I am actually trying to figure out if the regular race series I participate in can have a safety pin recycling bin

        yes, but it’s such a small piece the system will likely treat it as trash. Like bottle caps. You’d likely have to group them

        think they'd just go in the metal recycling, no?

        they are usually made of steel or brass both commonly recycled. Scrap metal depot might laugh but probably take them.

        take them to your next race and offer them to the local race organizers. #recyclesafetypins

        to answer your actual question, they're typically made of steel or brass so, why not?

        my recycling center has a misc metals bin (as well as one for nails, screws, nuts and bolts). Doesn't really answer the question.

        anything can be recycled, it's just a matter of being efficient and worth the energy it takes to do so. (sounds like a fun game)

        I'd imagine so. Just depends on the type of metal but, I mean, I can't see why not.
