FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS What metals can be recycled? Almost all metals can be recycled. In fact, most metals can be recycled over and over again without altering their properties. Some of most popular metals that are recycled are aluminum, brass, bronze, cast iron, copper, steel and tin. How do you properly dispose of scrap metal? For most household metals, disposal is pretty easy. Small items like drink cans and food cans are typically made from aluminum and steel, so most can be disposed of by using your home recycling bin or taking them to a local recycling depot. For other metals and larger items, you can bring them to scrap yards in any quantity for recycling purposes. Of course, this can take up valuable time and requires a truck or container. If you don’t want to bring your metals to a recycling facility, let Metal Recovery Systems take care of it! We can pick up your scrap metal right from your house or business—you won’t have to lift a finger. We’ll make sure it gets properly sorted and is taken to the appropriate recycling facilities. How does metal recycling help the Environment? Metal recycling conserves natural resources by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and using less energy than making metal from virgin ore. The production of new metal releases a far greater amount of greenhouse gas emissions compared with making products from recycled metal. Recycling has become increasingly important to society and industry to meet the goals of cost reduction, efficient management of limited resources, and reduced landfill utilization. How does it work?
