steel cans
Recyclable food vessels
Steel cans are cylindrical metal containers used for storing food and beverages.
The term typically distinguishes them from aluminum cans in recycling contexts, where separation matters: Steel cans go in the blue bin.
Most "tin cans" are actually steel with a thin tin coating to prevent rust.
