Metals (Ferrous & Non-ferrous)
Enhance Your Facility’s Sustainability with Our Ferrous and Non-Ferrous Metal Recycling Programs
Ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metals are essential materials found in industries such as construction, automotive, and manufacturing. Ferrous scrap metals, which include steel, cast iron, and wrought iron, are magnetic, durable, and highly recyclable, although they are prone to rusting. Non-ferrous metals, like aluminum, copper, brass, lead, and zinc, are resistant to rust and corrosion, offering high value due to their lightweight properties and conductivity.
At RecycleMax, we help facilities recycle both ferrous and non-ferrous metals efficiently, ensuring sustainability while maximizing cost savings and recovering the full value of these materials through expert recycling programs.
Stay Compliant and Reduce Costs with Effective Metal Recycling
By recycling ferrous metals like steel and cast iron, facilities can conserve natural resources, reduce the need for new materials, and lower their waste disposal costs. It also helps businesses comply with environmental regulations, avoiding penalties while contributing to sustainability efforts. Improper disposal of ferrous metals can lead to higher waste management costs, environmental damage, and missed opportunities for valuable recycling revenue, making proper recycling practices essential.
RecycleMax makes recycling ferrous and non-ferrous metals easy and efficient for your business. We can assess your facility's storage practices and provide tailored solutions. Non-ferrous metals like aluminum and copper should be stored in clearly labeled, dedicated containers to prevent contamination, while ferrous metals like steel and iron should be kept in open-top containers or designated areas to avoid rusting and ensure proper handling. Our services maximize transportation efficiency, ensuring full loads of scrap metal are collected to secure the best possible rebates. We also help negotiate competitive recycling rates and ensure compliance with environmental regulations so you can confidently recycle your scrap metal in a cost-effective and sustainable way.
Comprehensive Recycling Strategies for Ferrous and Non-Ferrous Metals

Efficient Pickup Scheduling and Transportation
Pickup scheduling and consolidated transportation ensure that ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metals are collected cost-effectively and on time, maximizing the value of each shipment. By securing competitive rates and optimizing logistics, facilities benefit from reduced costs and higher rebates for their recycled materials.

Baling or Compacting
For high volumes of ferrous metals like steel beams or iron parts, baling or compacting them reduces volume and improves transport efficiency. We can evaluate whether your facility could benefit from balers or compactors.

Open-Top Containers
RecycleMax assists your facility in selecting the right container sizes for scrap metal storage based on your output. For ferrous metals like steel, open-top containers or designated bins are ideal for easy handling, while non-ferrous metals should be stored separately in clearly labeled bins to prevent contamination and maintain their quality. We also provide tailored solutions to optimize storage and handling practices, ensuring metals are kept in proper conditions to avoid rusting or damage.
