Did you know that every two out of three pounds of steel made in the United States is derived from ferrous metal scrap? This type of scrap metal is magnetic and contains iron and other metals.
The EPA states that using recycled scrap metal instead of that produced from virgin iron ore can yield an 86 percent reduction in air pollution.
Are you doing any home remodeling or fix-it projects? If you are replacing any plumbing work or wiring, and it is copper, look into a recycling program for copper and brass, rather than disposing of the pieces.
Non-ferrous scrap, though it makes up a smaller quantity of scrap metal, is more valuable per pound. Non-ferrous scrap includes aluminum, copper, precious metals, lead, chromium, and other metals.
Recycling one pound of steel saves enough energy to run a 60-watt light bulb for an entire day. Steel can also be recycled over and over again, and recycling steel of any kind is a great way to reduce landfill waste.
