What metals do we accept?
No matter what metal you have, we will almost certainly be able to find a good home for it. Whether ferrous or non-ferrous metal, we process scrap metal in Accrington into vital secondary raw materials for the smelting of brand-new metals, allowing your scrap metal to be re-used again and again. Ferrous metals can be recycled, with steel being one of the most recycled materials in the world.
Additionally, ferrous metals contain an appreciable percentage of iron and the addition of carbon and other substances creates steel.
Before recycling any metals, you should first determine whether a metal is ferrous or non-ferrous. This is fairly straightforward process and requires only a common magnet. If the magnet sticks to your metal, it is a ferrous metal. If the metal does not stick to your magnet it is a non-ferrous metal.
However, if you are unsure then we can help you to accurately determine the type of metal before it is collected and recycled in Accrington.
