Throw it out - Black Cart
If you have broken or unusable cookware or housewares, place them in your black cart.
Do not put in the blue cart as they can damage the sorting machinery.
If you are throwing out a sharp knife, package it safely first by wrapping in two layers of paper and then placing it in a bag or sealed cardboard box. Label as "sharps" with a permanent marker and place in your black cart.
