I guess like myself, most of us buy new nuts, bolts and washers when doing a job, even though we have perfectly good leftovers at home. I've been trying to use them up recently, going through the collections before I go to the chandlery but it still leaves me with a heap of older stuff I'm just not going to use.

My question, am I forced to send them to landfill, or if I put them in the recycling bin will they get made to something useful?

I'd love to have your problem mate. Here in Indonesia for 3 years and my stock is rapidly running out and 316 is something unheard of here. If I find 304 I feel so lucky.

Give them to the neighbour and make it his problem and you can always nip over when you need one.

I'm assuming your talking stainless ?

cleaned out father in laws garage - not a boatie - so no stainless but he never thru any nut bolt or screw out - most went to landfill unfortunately
