Metal trays: scrap metal at the recycling centre. Pyrex-style glass dishes: general waste, never glass recycling.
Worn-out metal bakeware goes with scrap metal at recycling centres (not kerbside — too heavy-gauge for can sorting in some areas, though many councils accept clean ones). Borosilicate glass dishes are heat-treated and must never enter glass recycling.
