collected metal

Sammeln=collect.
Seems fairly related to recycling, as you collect the metal to recycle in a sense.(Maybe there is a more idiomatic synonym to collect in the context)

gathered metall

Isn't "Sammelmetall" the metal that has been gathered (like "Sammelmengen" for instance?).

Of course you might have chosen another term for "sammel"
