Dispose of pan: you should know that

If you want to dispose of your old pan, we show you all the options in this household tip.

Dispose of the pan - you have these options

Depending on the condition of the pan, there are various disposal options.

• You can dispose of a pan that is really no longer used in the yellow sack or in the yellow bin.
• If you have something or something to hand in at the recycling center, take the old pan with you. It is also accepted free of charge here.
• If a scrap or scrap metal dealer comes to you in the street, you can also give the pan to him.
• However, the dealer will only come for an extra pick-up for a good price. Or if you have some metal in store for him, he will find his way to you for nothing.
• If the pan is still in good shape and only needs to be replaced by a new one, you have further options. Before buying the new cookware, inquire whether the dealer might give you a few euros for your old pan. Some dealers offer this.
• There are also many people who would be happy about a still good, usable pan. There are free shops in many cities that are happy to accept such a donation.
• If your heart is very attached to your old pan, you don't have to dispose of it. Simply use the cookware for other purposes. An old pan, for example, is very suitable for storing small herb pots in it.
