I guess like myself, most of us buy new nuts, bolts and washers when doing a job, even though we have perfectly good leftovers at home. I've been trying to use them up recently, going through the collections before I go to the chandlery but it still leaves me with a heap of older stuff I'm just not going to use.
My question, am I forced to send them to landfill, or if I put them in the recycling bin will they get made to something useful?

I'd love to have your problem mate. Here in Indonesia for 3 years and my stock is rapidly running out and 316 is something unheard of here. If I find 304 I feel so lucky.

Don't send them to landfill.
Offer them to a local sailing school if nothing else.
Give them to the neighbour and make it his problem and you can always nip over when you need one.
I'm assuming your talking stainless ?
cleaned out father in laws garage - not a boatie - so no stainless but he never thru any nut bolt or screw out - most went to landfill unfortunately
