Not all scrap metal around your home can be recycled:
These metals are often treated with harmful chemicals that could cause damage to the soil and the air once they start breaking down.
The metal recycling industry is a staple in the manufacturing world and provides jobs, produces materials to manufacturers at lower costs, and reduces the need to mine for new metals like aluminum, copper, and steel.
Excessive mining is extremely harmful to the environment. As access to rich sources of metals becomes limited, mining methods become more invasive and require more and more energy.
Recycling is a much more efficient way to produce metals needed for manufacturing and uses less energy than sourcing new materials and preserves natural resources. Reducing garbage sent to landfills should be a united goal and doing so slows down the consumption of natural resources.
Recycling your scrap metal helps prevent excessive mining of metal ores, saves manufacturers large amounts of money and energy resources, and helps reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfill sites, which in turn reduces the amount of chemical and visual pollution.
Most cities do not do pick up scrap metal placed on the curb. Small metal objects such as aluminum soda and food cans can be placed in recycle bins and collected, but larger metal items need to be physically taken to recycling centers.
Wet paint inside a paint can is generally not accepted by local counties or recycling centers. Before getting rid of extra paint, make sure it is dried first, which then the tins can be donated to home improvement organizations or picked up by local scrap metal removal services.
