About this item

Shower heads should be sorted by their main material. If mostly metal, they can usually be sorted as metal. If mostly plastic, use plastic only where hard plastic or similar items are accepted locally. Many shower heads contain metal, plastic and rubber, so a recycling centre is often the safest option.
