Across the world, iron remains the most commonly used metal due to its low production cost and impressive durability. From the creation of railroads and ship hulls to load-bearing bars and steel production, iron is an important metal found nearly anywhere. As such, it is not as valuable as other types of metals that are rarer, but recycling iron remains a vital part of increasing economic growth in areas around the world that rely on a steady supply of this metal.
Bringing in iron for recycling is a simple process after you have successfully identified your scrap. You can prepare your iron by removing pieces of plastic or other types of metal to separate piles. It's recommended to use a magnet and keep your ferrous metals together. Additionally, you may need to consider the size of your scrap metal, as some pieces may be too large to be scrapped. Generally, prepared scrap is smaller in size than unprepared scrap metals. If you have a continuous supply of large amounts of scrap iron, you can also choose to schedule container services for safer storage and pickup by our facility.
