How to Properly Dispose of License Plates

License platesDID YOU KNOW?

In some localities, aluminum license plates can be added to your curbside recycling bin. Before recycling a license plate, cut it in half or remove one of the corners using tin snips or by bending the metal back and forth until it breaks. Also deface, destroy or remove the month and year stickers to prevent theft or fraud.
