Ferrous scrap metal recycling

Ferrous metals tend to be metals like cast iron, wrought iron, steel and cast steel. The thing that these all have in common is that they all contain an iron compound. Ferrous metals are normally used in items such as automobiles, cans, stoves and cookers. Also, all types of ferrous metals are magnetic.

Why Do We Recycle Metals?

Metals are valuable materials that can be recycled again and again without degrading their properties. Scrap metal has value, which motivates people to collect it for sale to recycling operations. In addition to a financial incentive, there is also an environmental imperative in recycling scrap metals.

Non ferrous metal recycling

Non ferrous metals can be defined as metals that don’t contain an iron compound. Metals such as copper, bronze, aluminium, brass and lead are classed as non ferrous. You can tell if a metal is non-ferrous depending on whether or not they are magnetic, as a magnet will not attach to a non-ferrous metal.

Environmental benefits

The recycling of metals helps to preserve natural resources while requiring less energy than the manufacture of new products using virgin raw materials. Recycling emits less carbon dioxide and other harmful gasses. More importantly, it allows manufacturing businesses to reduce their production costs.
