Because some of us really practice what we preach when it comes to the planet?
Take it to a metal scrapper - there is one in Silver Spring and another in Rockville.
Environmentally speaking doesn't make sense to make the trip just to drop it off so I'd stash it somewhere until you have a critical mass of stuff to scrap unless you will otherwise be near one.

Made In isn’t doing this out of generosity
Steel is expensive. It’s cheaper for them to get free scrap steel sent to them so they can reuse it than it is to buy it from a steel producer. Let’s not pretend they care about the earth. If they did, they wouldn’t be making metal cookware at all. They care about profit. And convincing you to send them your old pots and pans helps their bottom line.

I have some (scratched) non-stick cookware to get rid of. What is the best way to dispose of?
