I don't go through a lot of it but some I'd like to get rid of... that's why I asked. (Our recycle collection company's pamplet doesn't list it either.)

Aluminium Foil for hair highlights? I'm planning to foil my hair with Schwarzkopf intensive lightener. I was going to use aluminium foil as that is what I thought the hairdresser used last time.
