There are steel horses over Vantage, Washington (Grandfather releases the ponies) that are expected to last 50,000 years. Stainless steel might last even longer, depending upon the grade.

Stainless steel encased in a thick, airtight glass case should last practically forever. Stainless steel wire dragging behind a tractor trailer on a northern deiced coastal freeway, however, might only survive a few days.

Stainless steel does not decompose in the same way as organic materials. It can last for hundreds of years without breaking down, depending on environmental conditions. Recycling stainless steel is a more sustainable option for its disposal.
