How We Recycle

Recycling is vital in our modern world. With metals like steel and copper being in such large demand, it’s important for industry to utilize leftover materials. Doing so reduces pollution and other negative environmental impacts. The team at M & M Recycling is excited to play our role in the sustainability of today’s manufacturing industries. We also enjoy helping local Atlanta, Georgia area residents find an additional way to make money. Many people are interested in recycling their scrap metal, but they aren’t sure how it works. Some wonder how a metal recycling company like ours can possibly handle such large amounts of scrap. We enjoy helping our clients understand more about the recycling process, so read below to discover how we do our work, and what kind of items you can bring to our facility to increase your monthly income. 

How We Recycle Copper Wire

Copper wire is one of the most valuable and popular ways to earn money from scrap metal. However, people often wonder how professional scrap metal recyclers separate the insulated wire from its protective coating. After all, an individual would need countless hours to strip the wires by hand. At M & M Recycling, we have two industrial wire chop lines that can rapidly remove the wire from excess materials and provide large quantities of pure copper that’s ready for melting. 

How We Prepare Large Pieces of Steel for Recycling

Another frequent questions people have about scrap metal, is how large pieces of heavy steel can be prepared for the recycling process. It would be quite a feat for the average man to cut large steel metal from cars and other bulky items. Our team of specialists operate a machine with a large shear that can slice through the heftiest materials with ease. In just a few moments, a giant piece of steel can be turned into a pile of small pieces.

Items that are made from copper, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum and brass have value in the marketplace, and we are happy to recycle leftover materials made with these metals. Our team is also prepared to handle the recycling of lead batteries. However, there are some items that we cannot accept due to risk or legal issues. Avoid bringing NiCad batteries, containers with propane or other gases, liquids, light ballasts, capacitors, radioactive or flammable items, liquids, sealed containers, broken or damaged batteries, garbage, food scraps or unidentifiable materials.
