What Is the Process for Recycling Metal at a Metal Recycling Center?
Recycling metal is a simple and rewarding way to reduce waste and earn money. At Dade Scrap Iron & Metal, we follow an efficient process to recycle your scrap.
Collection and Sorting
The first step in the metal recycling process is the collection and sorting of metals. At Dade Scrap Iron & Metal, we accept a variety of metals, including ferrous (steel, iron) and non-ferrous (copper, aluminum, brass) materials. Once your scrap is brought to our facility, it is sorted by type and quality.
Our experienced team uses state-of-the-art equipment, including magnets and advanced sorting systems, to separate metals. This ensures the most efficient recycling process and guarantees that you get top payouts based on the type and weight of your scrap. Sorting is crucial for maximizing the value of the materials and ensuring that they are ready for the next steps in the recycling process.
Shredding, Melting, and Repurposing
Once the metals are sorted, they undergo further processing at Dade Scrap Iron & Metal. Metals like steel, copper, and aluminum are shredded into smaller pieces to make the melting process more efficient. The shredded metals are then placed in high-temperature furnaces where they are melted down to remove any impurities.
After melting, the purified metals are formed into sheets, bars, or pellets, which are then sold to manufacturers for reuse in new products. This process reduces the need for mining new raw materials and significantly lowers energy consumption. At Dade Scrap Iron & Metal, our goal is to make the recycling process as eco-friendly as possible while offering competitive payouts to our customers.
