- Scrap metal includes used metallic materials that can be recycled
- Metals are categorized as ferrous (containing iron) or non-ferrous
- Ferrous metals include iron and steel, while non-ferrous metals include aluminum, copper, brass, nickel, titanium, and zinc
- Benefits of Recycling
- Recycling conserves finite natural resources like iron ore and bauxite
- Reduces environmental pollution from mining and processing
- Saves energy compared to mining virgin metals
- Creates jobs in collection, sorting, processing, and manufacturing
- Reduces landfill waste and minimizes environmental impact
- Identification Methods
- Ferrous metals attract magnets and are typically gray or black
- Non-ferrous metals show reduced magnetic properties
- Color observation helps identify metal types
- Common Sources
- Old appliances contain valuable metals like steel and aluminum
- Automotive parts include engine components and exhaust systems
- Construction debris provides steel beams and reinforcement bars
- Electronics contain valuable metals like gold and silver
- Machinery and equipment generate scrap metal components
