When you think of metal, you think of iron, or steel, maybe copper. But
you may not know that all metals fall into one of two categories:
Ferrous or Non-Ferrous. So what’s the difference? We’ve got you covered.

Recycling has its rewards. It’s good for the environment and ensures that the metals and materials are responsibly reused or processed. But it can also be financially rewarding. Whether you’re a contractor who has left over metal from a job or a business with left over materials, you might be surprised at the value recycling can deliver to your wallet. Also worth note, clean or pure metals are always worth the most.

Recycling is not a new concept but it’s an important one. Whether after a contractor completes a job, an internet-service provider wraps up an install at a school or organization or business, there is all too often leftover scrap metal that many times goes to waste.

The demand for metal continues to grow and recycling is a great way to ensure that as little waste as possible is left behind.
