Although Tullis Metals is a metal recycling center, there are certain materials that we cannot recycle.
1. Televisions - The primary reason that we do not recycle televisions is because there is very little metal in a tv set; it is mostly plastic.
2. Computer Monitors - Again, they are mostly plastic.
3. Barrels - Barrels must have the ends cut out of them. Why? Because even though there may not be any flammable materials in the barrel now; such material can permeate the inside of the barrel and explode.
4. Lots of steel cable - The cable will not shred.
5. Propane Tanks - See page about propane tanks.
6. No paper or cardboard. We recycle metal only.
