  1. ESSENTIAL TIPS FOR SORTING SCRAP METAL FOR RECYCLING

  2. Recycling scrap metal offers significant environmental and financial benefits, yet many people face challenges when sorting their materials correctly. In the North Shore, where sustainability is a key focus, the process of scrap metal recycling can seem overwhelming. If you are clearing out old appliances, knowing how to sort your scrap metal efficiently can make all the difference. Seeking recycling service for scrap metal at North Shore? Metal Merchants Pty Ltd is your go-to option.

Here you can see some essential tips to scrap metal for scraping:

  3. UNDERSTANDING SCRAP METAL CATEGORIES • The first step in sorting scrap metal for recycling is to understand the two main categories of metals: ferrous and non-ferrous. • Ferrous Metals • Non-Ferrous Metals • Tips for Sorting Scrap Metal • Separate Ferrous and Non-Ferrous Metals : To maximize your recycling returns, it is important to separate ferrous from non-ferrous metals. A magnet can help you identify ferrous metals if the magnet sticks, it is ferrous; if not, it is non-ferrous. • Clean the Metal: Copper, aluminum and other non-ferrous metals increase their value. Residues like dirt, rubber or plastic can lower the price you receive for your scrap. Clean materials are easier to process and more valuable in the recycling market. • Remove Non-Metal Components: Before bringing your scrap to a recycler ensure you have removed non-metal parts such as plastic covers, rubber or glass. For example, old electronics, appliances or scrap cars may contain components that lower the scrap value if not properly separated. • Sort by Type of Metal: Different metals have different values. For example, copper is one of the most valuable non-ferrous metals, while aluminum and brass have lower prices but are still valuable for recycling. Sorting your metals into specific types can help you get the best price when selling them.
