Ferrous metals refer to mostly iron made metals. Unlike non-ferrous metal recycling where you need to separate aluminum, tin, lead, zinc and copper from each other before they are melted, ferrous metal recycling does not need sorting. All the collected ferrous metals are melted together. To determine if the metal is ferrous, grab a magnet and if the magnet sticks to the metal, then it is ferrous. Ferrous metal recycling has been one of the widely known recycling in the United States.

Steel companies prefer ferrous metal recycling not only for economic and financial reasons but also the fact that it is environment-friendly. Carbon dioxide emission during production is lesser and use of energy and water is also much lower. In 2008 alone, steel industry generated about 40% of its total production from scrap ferrous metals. At the same time, recycling ferrous metals are so much more convenient primarily because its intrinsic physical properties are not affected even undergoing chemical processes. 

It is easy to detect which metals are ferrous. Most of these ferrous metals that are heavily recycled are containers, cans, automobile parts, appliances and stainless steel. Before deciding to discard some of these metals, you might want to consider selling it to your local recycling companies. This is one way of generating extra income while getting rid of your unwanted metal garbage at home or in your business.

Larger bulk of ferrous metals can earn you a lot of money. Scrap metal recycling centers have advanced weighing scale. These ferrous metals are weighed by pounds. If you want to know the estimated amount you can earn from your collected ferrous metals, call the nearest ferrous metal recycling company for their pricing. Some of these companies offer pickup services so you do not have to go to their centers. Just give them a call and they will pick them up for you.

I have been living in an industrial area for a very long time. I grew up here. I am well aware of recycle business. People collecting used metal scrap from different sources like offices, house, shops, playgrounds, dockyards etc. After collecting them, they differentiate between metals and then sell them separately. Thus they are making huge money in every lot.

My friend is looking for a temporary source of income after losing his job because of this pandemic. I like your idea of recycling scrap metal to various companies. We should probably look around for metal that we can sell to a scrapyard.

Wow, I never considered that there are economic advantages that come with ferrous steel recycling on a larger scale. I'd like to be a lot more mindful of the environment once I start my own auto repair business someday. I can imagine that broken parts can easily be scrapped for recycling so I will do just that.

Thanks so much for talking a bit about the benefits of scrap metal recycling. My uncle is working on a big project and he's collected a lot of scrap metal because of it. We've been looking into ways to recycle and where to take it all to when we do recycle it.

It got me when you said that recycling steel would be good for the environment aside from being able to help the economy and financial part of a company. Because of being environmentally-friendly, I personally want to do my part as well and look for metal recycling centers here in Orange, California starting this year. It would be one small step for me to actually help the planet heal after it has become hotter because of global warming and climate change that are caused by our actions.
