Here are some helpful FAQ's for those new to scrap metal
Both ferrous and non-ferrous metals can and should be recycled. This means you can recycle almost any type of metal, from soda cans to building structures. Some other examples of everyday items that can be recycled include appliances, cars or anything with a motor, and construction equipment. You can even recycle gold & silver in exchange for cash!
Ferrous metals contain iron and are magnetic. They are the stronger type of metal and are often used in the construction of bridges & buildings, and for fences, chains, & nails. This type of metal contains high levels of carbon, making it susceptible to rust. Some examples of ferrous metals include cast iron, wrought iron, and carbon steel.
Non-ferrous metals do not contain iron and are not magnetic. This type of metal is not as strong as those with iron but instead is more flexible. The flexibility of non-ferrous metals makes them frequently used materials for gutters, food storage, and jewelry. Non-ferrous metals are also not likely to rust. Some examples of non-ferrous metals include stainless steel, aluminum, copper, and tin.

Recycling scrap metal at a scrap metal recycling center has several monetary and environmental benefits! When you bring your scrap metal to a recycling center, you will be paid in cash for the scrap value of the metal items you have. Alternatively, you could bring your scrap metal items to a landfill where you may have to actually pay them in order to drop off your metals! For this reason, selling your metal items to a scrap metal recycling facility is a no brainer from a monetary standpoint! Additionally, recycling scrap metal is beneficial for the environment, and therefore is a sustainable practice that everyone should participate in whenever they have excess metals that they are looking to get rid of. Turning recycled metals into new products uses far less energy than creating brand new metal from virgin materials, resulting in less fossil fuel usage and greenhouse gas emissions.
