Is it Cast Iron / steel? or Aluminum ?
All of these can be recycled at Scrap yards. While your City %26quot;curbside%26quot; recyclers may not take it, a metal scrap yard will. They shred the metal and melt it down. All impurities (including the Teflon) come the the surface of the molten metal. This %26quot;sludge%26quot; is (unfortunately) land filled. The good news, is that from a four pound pan, less than an ounce is actually waste. P.S. - Aluminum pans have value, and a scrap yard may come get it. B.S. in Electrical Engineering

The quickest way to degrade Teflon is to heat it. DuPont claims publicly that its non-stick coatings are stable up to 600¡ Fahrenheit, a temperature which the company says is well above that reached in everyday cooking.
Or you can take it to a household hazardous waste program(HHW)
