Ferrous
Ferrous metals are metals mainly comprised of iron and are well known for their strength and incredible durability. Thankfully, steel (a ferrous metal) is easily recyclable, maintaining its core physical properties throughout the process. Ferrous metals are generally used in both industrial and architectural constructions. As a leading scrap metal recycler, we purchase the following items containing ferrous metals (both iron and steel).

Non-Ferrous
Non-ferrous metals do not contain any iron and are usually corrosion-resistant and lighter in weight unlike their ferrous counterparts. This type of metals are primarily used in the steel and iron industry, and play a vital role in applications that require malleability, strength, high conductivity, and resistance to corrosion. They are also used in making small electronics because of their non-magnetic feature.
Some common non-ferrous metals, which are commonly found in many devices, include aluminum, copper, brass, and stainless steel. While aluminum is one of the most recycled materials in the world, other non-ferrous materials are scarce. Listed below are the non-ferrous metals we buy at our facility:
