WDYD with old pots and pans?

[brandienee]

My Friday night conundrum.

I have an equivalent of a set of really old pots and pans that are no longer useful. I would donate them if I thought they were okay to use, but I think they're trash. (Non stick is scratched, lots of stuck, cooked on nasty)

How do I dispose of these? I hate the idea of throwing them into a landfill, and I can't throw them in the weekly recycling. Scrap metal maybe??

Maybe I can use them for self defense. Or hand them out to children who like bang on things. I am sure the parents would be totally cool with that. ;-)

Maybe recycle them?

Nonny too.  Do you have a Montessori preschool around?  DD's had an outside classroom with old pots and pans linked to a fence so kids could make music outside.  Scratches? No problem!

If they aren't clean and can't be cleaned, just throw them away. How hard is this to figure out, really?

It really isn't. I just have trash guilt I suppose.

That's interesting. Thanks! :-)
