Scrap Metal Recycling & Pick Up

Scrap metal comes in all sizes, shapes, and weights. It is unfortunate when you are left dealing with a pile of scrap metal. This is especially true for people with minimal removal and disposal resources. Fortunately, scrap metal is not that difficult to dispose of because it is recyclable and donatable in many cases.

Scrap metal should not be disposed of in the household waste. Your local household waste pickup service will not accept scrap metal. This leaves you looking for other disposal alternatives like recycling and donating.

Municipality landfills and dumps do whatever is necessary to keep scrap metals out. When they receive scrap metals, they immediately begin to prepare them for recycling.

Scrap Metals That Are Not Recyclable

While it may be difficult to believe, scrap metal is extremely easy to dispose of. However, some scrap metals are not recyclable. Non-recyclable scrap metals must be disposed of through other means than recycling centers. Non-recyclable scrap metals include the following:

• Fluorescent light bulbs that contain mercury
• Cathode ray tubes that contain lead
• Aerosol paint cans
• Propane gas canisters
• Uranium and plutonium radioactive metals
• Motor oil and lead paint cans
• Some cookware and utensils

Metals that are treated with chemicals are not accepted at most recycling centers. Landfills will not take chemically treated scrap metals because they generate environmentally unfriendly greenhouse gases.

Why Recycle Scrap Metals?

Recycling scrap metals keep this type of waste out of landfills and dumps. Scrap metals in dumps break down and generate harmful chemicals that plague the environment. Plus, recycled scrap metals help minimize the need to make new metals for manufacturing. Recycled metals are utilized to produce new building components, electronic devices, playground equipment, automobiles, bicycles, silverware, and other products.

The US Environmental Protection Agency “EPA” highly recommends recycling scrap metal. Not only does it protect the environment from future damage caused by greenhouse gas emissions, but it can also put a little extra cash in your back pocket.

Is It Legal To Put Scrap Metals In Recycling Bins?

It depends on your household waste collection service. Some companies encourage their clients to recycle their scrap metals in their recycling bins, others do not. Small pieces of old scrap metal should be okay. However, it is never a good idea to dispose of scrap metal without validating it with your trash collection service provider.

Empty metal cans utilized for exterior and interior paints should not be disposed of in recycling bins. These containers contain chemicals that pose risks to the environment. Instead, you can clean out the cans and donate them to your local hardware store.
