What Types of Metals Can Be Recycled?
Recycling metal is a key practice for reducing waste and conserving resources. At Dade Scrap Iron & Metal, we accept various types of metals, each contributing to a more sustainable environment.
Ferrous Metals: Steel and Iron
Ferrous metals, primarily composed of iron, are highly recyclable and widely accepted at Dade Scrap Iron & Metal. This category includes steel and iron, which are used in numerous applications, from construction materials to automotive parts. Steel is commonly found in structures like beams, rebar, and appliances, while iron is prevalent in old pipes, machinery, and tools.
Recycling ferrous metals helps conserve natural resources and reduces the environmental impact associated with mining and processing raw materials. At Dade Scrap Iron & Metal, we use advanced sorting and processing techniques to handle ferrous metals efficiently, ensuring they are recycled into high-quality products while providing you with competitive payouts.
Non-Ferrous Metals: Copper, Aluminum, and Brass
Non-ferrous metals, which do not contain iron, are also crucial for recycling and are accepted at Dade Scrap Iron & Metal. This category includes copper, aluminum, and brass—each with distinct recycling benefits. Copper is valuable for its excellent conductivity and is commonly found in electrical wiring and plumbing materials. Aluminum, widely used in cans, window frames, and packaging, is highly recyclable and saves significant energy compared to producing new aluminum. Brass, an alloy of copper and zinc, is used in various fittings and fixtures.
Recycling non-ferrous metals helps reduce the need for raw material extraction and lowers energy consumption. At Dade Scrap Iron & Metal, we process these metals with care, ensuring you receive the best value while contributing to a greener planet.
