Well, they will have to be separate when you take it in to the recycling place. A lot of people stomp on the cans to flatten them out so you can fit more in a bag. Or there's a thing you can buy that does that.
I do not have room to really recycle. I live in an apartment. The info I have is from the friends who do it for a living. I do try to save a few things for them, such as electric cords and sometimes aluminum cans.
The brass I was talking about, I DO recycle. I accumulate brass candle sticks, lamp bases, little boxes, and etc, instead of selling them at yard sales. I usually get more money that way!
