Overview:

• Contains metals without significant iron content.
• More expensive than ferrous metals.
• Used for desirable properties like low weight (e.g.aluminium), higher
  conductivity (e.g. copper), non-magnetic properties, and corrosion resistance (e.g.zinc).
• Used in iron and steel industries.

Illegal Metals – We do not buy any metals from the following parastatals:

• Eskom
• Telkom
• Railway
• Municipality

Overview:

Ferrous metals are those containing iron such as:

• Nickel
• Steel
• Iron itself

Ferrous metals are often magnetic but this is not a defining characteristic.

Classification of Ferrous Metals:

• Processed steel 201 is 1m * 1m
• Unprocessed steel is any size larger than 1m*1m
• Sub Grade is steel thinner than 2mm eg roof sheeting (IBR), car bodies and drums

Overview:

Most types of batteries can be recycled, however some batteries are recycled
more readily than others, such as:

• Lead-acid
• Automotive batteries
