Recycling Mystery: Metal Credit Cards
Briefly

Metal credit cards, while durable and aesthetically pleasing, pose unique recycling challenges due to their composite materials and data security concerns; responsible disposal is crucial.
Preserving personal information is essential when disposing of metal credit cards, as simply throwing them away could lead to identity theft. It's best to return to the issuer.
Despite being under 20 grams, metal credit cards present a recycling challenge as they are made up of valuable materials, including gold, that are hard to reclaim through traditional methods.
Several banks, including American Express, offer mail-in recycling programs specifically for their cards, promoting responsible disposal and recycling while ensuring customer information remains secure.
