Gather Your Metals
This is the obvious first step, right? There are some things to note when gathering your metals though. Make sure all metals are free of liquids. So, empty and rinse those soda cans before tossing them in the pile. Removing liquids is especially important when recycling old car engines or refrigerators. Bring all of these metals into a special location. If the gathering process is going to take you longer than a few hours, then make sure the metals are covered and secure.
Separate the Metals
There are many types of metals. You have ferrous metals, or metals that come from iron. These include steel, cast iron, and alloys such as stainless steel. Non-ferrous metals include gold, silver, aluminum, copper, lead, nickel, and tin.
This is important information because the type of metal will determine how much money you get. Obviously, you will get more for gold than you would for cast iron. It is also important to separate the metals because some metal recycling companies only accept certain types of metals. Fortunately, RCM Recycling accepts a wide spectrum of metal types. Call RCM Recycling if you have any questions on metal types and pricing.
Remember, however, that metal prices are always changing. Ask our friendly representative whether you can lock-in a price. We are happy to work with you on pricing.
