| I would think that since they are just aluminum that as long as they are clean of any wax, you could put them out with your recycling. Do you have weekly/bi-weekly recycling pick up?

| Or you could keep them and make your own tealights so you could have whatever fragrance you wanted? I would probably be inclined to do that!

| Every city has different recylables. It all depends on if they have a market for the material or not, and if it is economical. You should call your town office and ask for recyling guidelines. |

| If you have a candle warming plate then buy any fragrance candle, put it in a jar and melt it. Then pour it in the T-lite tin. I've even poured the melted candle wax on the top of the "thingy" that you put the T-lights in. I do all sorts of things with candles. I just love nice fragrances and I change the fragrance with the seasons.

Donating YT 7000 Club Member | are they the alluminum ones or plastic-y ones? If they're alluminum, then I'd deff. think they should be recycled. I've never really known what to do with the plastic-y ones - they've always just gotten thrown away! Does it have the little recycle sign on the bottom?
