What is a non-ferrous metal scrap?
A non-ferrous metal scrap is a metal that does not contain iron. Non-ferrous metals are not magnetic and are usually more resistant to corrosion that ferrous metals. Some examples of non-ferrous metal scrap are aluminum, copper, lead, zinc and tin. Among non-ferrous metals, scrap aluminum is one of the most efficient and widely-recycled materials. Scrap aluminum goes through many processes before it is put back on store shelves. Did you know that aluminum can be recycled indefinitely? Brand new aluminum and recycled aluminum looks exactly the same after the recycled metal is processed. Visit our metal recycling page or call us today to recycle your scrap metals!
