Do you have an industrial business located in Phoenix, Arizona?\u00a0 <\/span><\/h3>\n

Perhaps your company produces copper piping<\/a> or wiring, or you may have large steel beams<\/a> that would otherwise go to waste.\u00a0 Learn how to properly recycle your scrap metals with Consolidated Resources<\/a> and get the maximum amount back on your items.\u00a0 We\u2019ll walk you through some popular recyclable metals and methods so you can always know what can be brought to CRI without the hassle of second-guessing or missing valuable scrap pieces.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to determine if you have <\/span>ferrous or non-ferrous metal<\/span><\/a>s.\u00a0 This can be done with a simple, small magnet.\u00a0 No large equipment required! Ferrous metals will stick to the magnet.\u00a0 These are not usually the high-dollar items, but can and should still be recycled if you have them!\u00a0 Some common ferrous metal types would be steel, carbon steel, wrought iron, or cast iron.\u00a0 Non-ferrous metals will not stick to a magnet.\u00a0 These include items such as aluminum, copper, tin, brass, stainless steel, and bronze.\u00a0 <\/span>Non-ferrous metals do not contain iron and ferrous metals do.\u00a0 These metals tend to be quite valuable and are worth more when recycling.\u00a0 Precious metals like gold and silver are also considered non-ferrous.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why Recycle Copper Scrap Metal?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Copper is a very valuable metal found within wiring, pipes, air conditioners, certain home goods, and fixtures.\u00a0 It\u2019s a really smart idea to bring any copper scraps in to be recycled and an even smarter idea to separate them from your other metals when doing so.\u00a0 Copper is usually a bright, reddish color but if it\u2019s worn, it can look like a darker brown with green rust. CRI can provide you with separate roll-off bins<\/a> if your business has a lot of differnet scrap metals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Recycling Brass Scrap Metals<\/b><\/h2>\n

Heavy in weight, and golden in color, brass is a great metal to bring in to be recycled.\u00a0 <\/span>This commonly found metal is very durable and resists corrosion.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>Brass can be found in small items, such as door handles and keys.\u00a0 It can also be found in bathroom and kitchen fixtures, copper pipping, ships, or large construction sites.\u00a0 Brass is mid-level in value.\u00a0 Made up of copper and zinc, it can add up in value quite quickly due to the density of the metal.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Industrial Steel is Widely Used & Easy to Recycle<\/b><\/h2>\n

Steel, one of the most widely used metals in the world is very easy to find and recycle.\u00a0 A magnet will stick to it, making it ferrous.\u00a0 Steel is not all that valuable unless you have thousands of pounds of it.\u00a0 This shouldn\u2019t discourage anyone from recycling it however.\u00a0 Once it\u2019s recycled, it can be melted down and reused again and again, making it a great choice for the environment.\u00a0 This also cuts down the cost of purchasing steel for your company.\u00a0 Buying recycled steel for products is much more affordable and eco-friendly than mining new iron ore for raw materials.<\/span><\/p>\n
