Continue below to learn how you can simplify recycling your scrap metal.

Prepare/Separate Your Materials 

The first step when recycling your unused metals is to check if it is accepted by the scrap metal yard company you are going to. Next, prepare and separate your materials for an easy exchange. Sorting your metals from ferrous (iron, steel) to nonferrous (copper, aluminum, stainless steel, brass, etc.) will allow for quick drop-off or pick-up and make it easier for the professionals to sort through and figure out what to pay you. Remember that ferrous metals do not hold much monetary value compared to nonferrous metals. Although, you should take the time to clean any toxic metals to ensure a good payout.
