According to reports, our curbside recycle is pretty good. I have to put
recyclable stuff, newspapers, plactics, bottles, etc., into a separate can
from my regular trash. We're told that the can gets sorted somewhere and the
various materials are separated into piles where they do the most good.
Assuming what They say and what They do is the same, my rotors should find
their way to a good home. I'll be out a few bucks, but I won't have to buy
gas to drive across town to the recycle center.

Take it to an iron foundry (iron casting company) its usually pretty good stuff
and can be remelted for garden furniture, brackets and plain exhaust
manifolds/headers. Turbos tend to use spherodial graphite iron as it doesn't
crack so easy under extreams of temperature change.

Do they say that they accept rotors? The place they would say it is on
the website (e.g,. your city or county public works website).
However, you can call to have washing machines, hot water heaters, etc.,
picked up. I imagine they would take rotors, too.
I think most recycling places glass, plastic, aluminum, and various
types of paper.
