Why Recycling Scrap Metal Is Important

Recycling scrap metal not only helps to keep waste scrap out of the landfills, but also comes with economic benefits. The recycling industry creates millions of job opportunities, which translates to a lower unemployment rate and a higher GDP. In addition, the U.S. exports millions of tonnes of scrap metal to other countries, which translates to economic growth.

Through scrap metal recycling, we can preserve resources and conserve the environment. Recycling scrap metal is much cheaper than mining and refining metals from virgin ores. Since recycling requires a lot less energy compared to mining virgin ores, it helps in reducing emissions and energy conservation.

There are many other benefits of recycling scrap metal. It’s important that everyone does their part to preserve resources, conserve energy, and contribute to economic development by supporting scrap metal recycling. At M&M Recycling, we make it easy for you to sell scrap metal.

Scrap Metal Recycling Checklist

• Separate ferrous and non-ferrous metals. This makes it easier for scrap metal buyers to determine the right prices.
• Place aluminum cans in their own container
• Clean soiled aluminum items—most scrap metal buyers accept clean aluminum items and cleaning your scrap metals can help you fetch a higher price.
• Put clean metals in separate containers—clean metals are more likely to fetch better prices, so it’s best that they are put in a separate container.
• Prepare old metal appliances
• If you don’t have a suitable vehicle to transport the scrap metals, call scrap metal buyers to collect the load.
