Basic understanding of the various types of metals.

Where can you get metal?

Sorting and collecting metals

This is essential. Understanding how to separate and collect the metals you have will ensure you make the most you can for your haul. These are some of the most basic guidelines to help you start.

Place each kind of metal in its individual container

When you visit a scrapyard, don't mix your scrap-metal. The primary reason is you're most likely to get paid for only the amount of the least valuable metal inside your box, or be told to separate it before coming back. For instance, if you have aluminum and brass combined in one container, you may only get the aluminum price, which would suck because brass pays significantly more per pound.

Clean your scrap

This isn't a reference to clean it by using water and soap. Clean scrap is one with no attachments. Copper and Copper are quite different. Copper is free of paint and brass attachments which is why it makes up 99% of the weight. Copper means that 96 percent or more of weight is made of copper, however it may also have paint or brass or some other metal attached which causes it to fall in value.

Be sure to keep your scraps secure

Scrap metal is often taken from construction sites, and homes. Keep your collection in a secure location.

Common Nonferrous Metals

Aluminum

Window frames roofing structures, building frames airplanes, trains boats, cars and trucks. It can also be used in smaller vehicles like motorbikes, bicycles and other mobility devices, like wheelchairs. Keep in mind that if iron is in any of these things it will need to be removed for you to receive the full price of aluminum for scrap. Of course, old beer and soda bottles also can be recycled, but it will take lots of quantities to make an amount of money that's worth it.

Brass

The most frequently scrapped items are pipe fittings and valves. Other items made of brass are bullet casings, faucets, doorknobs, as well as light fixtures.

Copper

Copper pipe, wires circuits, switches and electromagnets. A few others are plumbing fittings, as well as pieces used in refrigeration units, air conditioners as well as water supply systems.

Lead

Lead is employed in many different ways, from pipe to wheel weights. It's generally soft and pliable, but it's deceptively heavy.

Stainless Steel

Although it contains 70% iron is still considered non-ferrous and commands a higher price. It is produced with at least 8.8 percent nickel, which makes it more important. Stainless steel is typically used in kitchenware and appliances and is also used in aerospace and automotive technology. It may look similar to regular steel, however it won't attract a magnet.

Scrapping can bring in a lot of money. It is possible to earn some extra money each month by purchasing a beer or even a few thousand dollars when your company produces scrap regularly. It all depends on how much scrap you have and the things you decide to do with it. Remember that market prices can change depending on demand or supply.
