Scrap Metal Recycling

What Is Scrap Metal Recycling?

Scrap metal recycling refers to the recovery and processing of recyclable metal materials from end-of-life products and structures so they can be reintroduced as raw material for the production of new goods.

Scrap metal is also a byproduct of steel manufacturing. This type of scrap including clippings, busheling, and skeletons is easy and valuable to recycle back into the same stream it came from, because it isn’t altered and therefore doesn’t require as much processing.

Other items that fit in this category, includes but is not limited to:

Non-ferrous Metals

Since non-ferrous metals do not lose their chemical properties during the recycling process, they can be endlessly recycled. Here’s a long list of non-ferrous metals, however the common types of non-ferrous materials we handle include:

  • ✓ Copper
  • ✓ Brass
  • ✓ Aluminum
  • ✓ Nickel
  • ✓ Lead
  • ✓ Zinc
  • ✓ Stainless Stee

Scrap metal recycling plays a crucial role in climate change. As the world’s natural resources get depleted, and the threat of climate change triggers energy savings, scrap metal recyclers like ourselves are becoming more and more important.
