It takes far less energy to recycle metal rather than mine, purify and shape it.
Recycling metals also helps preserve key resources.
Scrap metals such as aluminum, copper, steel, brass, and iron can be reused many times to make many new products, such as:
Construction – roads and bridges
Manufacturing – cars and aircraft Containers
New and stronger metals
Furniture and fittings
Who collects scrap metal?
It depends on the type of metal and other conditions, including:
Market Price
Location
Time of year
Demand
Like all commodities, metal prices change with supply and demand, and the cost of production.
As specialist buyers of works arising materials, we buy all grades of ferrous metals including heavy engineering grade carbon steels, through to lighter gauge mild steels and punching’s.
