Recycling Links
There are numerous sites on the Internet containing information on recycling. A few sites have been found that seem to combine general utility with specific references to nickel-containing products and materials. The focus is on institutional links but a few active recyclers are also included. As of January 2003 these were all active sites with working links.
This is by no means an exhaustive list. If you are aware of sites that would be useful additions to this short list, please feel free to bring them to our attention and they will be considered for addition.
If you are not having success in finding a recycling partner for your nickel-containing material, please contact us. The Nickel Institute may be able to suggest additional avenues of inquiry.
