Why Recycle Scrap Metal?

 Recycling scrap metal helps to decrease land and water pollution.  It reduces the overall amount of illegal dumping which prevents the contamination of our rivers, streams, lakes, and fields.  Scrap metal recycling is unique because companies and individuals can actually be compensated for recycling their scrap metal.  This benefit helps incentivize people to choose recycling over illegal dumping.  The fact is using recycled metal to create new metal products takes much less energy than manufacturing products from virgin ore.  Metal recycling uses energy, but it is minimal compared to the amount of energy required to mine, heat, process, and manufacture new metal from natural ore.  Metal recycling also helps preserve the land space that would otherwise be destroyed or disrupted by the mining process. Landfills across the country are filling up, and by choosing to recycle your scrap metal waste, you help to greatly reduce the amount of materials in those landfills.  The teams who manage landfills do their best to sort out any renewable resources from the trash, but the truth is there is just too much to process and without specialized equipment, materials can be missed.  At Ferrous Processing & Trading, we have the equipment and resources necessary to properly process and recycle all types of scrap metal waste.
