In order to maximize your scrap metal recycling efforts, there are some very basic techniques you can utilize.� Some suggestions to maximize the money you get paid for scrap metals includes:
- Sort various metals into different piles. Steel and iron should go into one pile, aluminum scrap in another pile, copper scrap should go into another. You will get paid less for mixed loads of scrap.
- Deal only with reputable scrap metal brokers or scrap yards
- Keep all debris, concrete, dirt and garbage out of your scrap metal piles
- Strip copper and aluminum cable. There are many cable wire strippers available on the market. Strip your wire cable in order to get the highest value for your copper or aluminum scrap.
- Always carry a magnet – you can use a magnet to quickly tell if the material is ferrous or non ferrous and then separate your metals into various piles
