I asked at my scrap yard, i had a potenial source for food cans, They said they didnt want a big bunch. "They were hard to get rid of" But i remove the label,and mix them with my other light steel. No complaints so-far.

I'm fairly certain yards don't want food cans because unlike most other metal you will bring in, it houses food... Rotten food reminents left in the cans will attract bugs, rats and other unwanted pests. There are ordinances in some city's around me that scrap yards are not allowed to buy or accept ferrous metals because they don't want rat infestations.

The yard I go to said they don't like them because they gum up their machine but they will take them as shred mixed with a load.
