Can tennis ball containers be recycled? I recently noticed that my tennis ball containers are made of number 1 plastic -- which I know is acceptable for recycling. However, there%26#039;s a metal strip on the very top. I assume it%26#039;s aluminum. Do you think the whole thing can be put on the curb to collect?

• if you are concerned then cut the metal strip of the container and place both items into the bin to be recycled then they both are acceptable,the plastic lid is also recyclable on the containers
• I dont know if it is recycleable but if you paint or are crafty they make great holders fot paintbrushes ,crochet hooks etc.
• like other plastics it sure can be recycled!
