I worked in a bike co-op back in the 70's, and between wanting to be responsible and not throw away money we did recycle. We had a large used bike sale and buy-back program and a large basement, so we even took steel to the scrapyard. Aluminium was handled by a trash barrel for everything but the rims, which were simply put over the outside of the barrel.
