Ferrous Metals
There are two categories of alloys: ferrous and non-ferrous. Metals which contain iron in them are known as ferrous where compounds without iron are non-ferrous. The easiest way to separate ferrous from non-ferrous is with a magnet. Ferrous alloys are iron and iron-based steel, therefore, they are magnetic. Non-ferrous metals, such as copper and brass, are not magnetic.
Aluminum
This is commonly recycled scrap metal. You’ll find aluminum in your soft drink cans, window frames, bicycles and cookware and much more.
Recycling aluminium uses about 5% of the energy required to create aluminium!
Brass
It’s easy to find brass in your home, things such as door knobs, pipe fittings, bathroom and kitchen taps.
Brass is ideal recyclable material as it can be used again and again.
Copper
Copper is the third most used metal in manufacturing. Copper is a precious metal found in your home pipes, sculptures or living room decor, appliances, kitchen sinks, pots old roof beams, and electronic equipment.
Steel
Stainless steel is one of the biggest metals used for manufacturing. If you were renovating your kitchen, scrap your stainless appliances, sinks, trays, and appliances made of steel.
