What Are The Steps Of The Scrap Metal Recycling Process?

Scrap metal recycling is the process of selling your unwanted metals to a recycling facility where they will then classify and melt down the metals so they can be used in new products. You can recycle almost all kinds of metals, including appliances, equipment, vehicles, metal wiring, and so much more! When you sell your scrap metal to a recycling facility, not only will you benefit for monetary reasons, but you’ll also be helping the environment! Most metals can be recycled over and over again an unlimited amount of times, reducing the need for the development of virgin metals, which can be harsh on the environment. In this article, we’ll talk about each step of the scrap metal recycling process so you’ll know exactly what happens to your metals after you bring them to a recycling facility! If
you are looking to sell scrap metal in the Greater Boston area, contact Second Street Iron & Metal in Everett, MA, today!


Scrap Collection

The first step in the scrap metal recycling process is the collection of the metals. This is where you come in! Residents and businesses alike can bring their unwanted metal items to their local scrap facility where they’ll be paid for their scrap value. The more metal you bring, the more you’ll be paid! Different scrap metals are worth different prices, so it’s important to know what kinds of metals you have in order to maximize your payment!


Weighing & Sorting

Once you’ve dropped off your metal or it has been picked up by the company you choose, they will weigh and sort the items by different metal types. Copper will be put in one pile, steel in another, aluminum in another, etc. While this is the end of the scrap metal recycling journey for you, it is only the beginning for us!


Melting Down

After the metals have been sorted into their individual groups, it’s time to start melting the metals down. The metals will be sent into a smelter or metal furnace, where the high temperature will melt them into a liquid form.


Ingot Creation

The next step in the scrap metal recycling process is the creation of ingots. After the metal has been melted down into a liquid state, it will be poured into a mold, then cooled, creating a block of metal known as an ingot. 


Repurposing Into New Products

After the scrap metal has been melted down and turned into an ingot, the ingots will be sold to metal manufacturers. These ingots can then be re-melted by the manufacturers and formed into whatever shape they need for new products. Recycled metals can be used for almost anything: cars, new appliances, pipes, furniture, and almost anything else you can think of that is made of metal!

Need a loan expert to fix your bad credit? Then 760PLUS CREDIT SCORE is highly recommended. I had very poor credit and could not get a car loan, but when I came across 760Plus on Reddit, my problems were solved. They helped me remove all the irregularities and increased my score to 780, 791, and 775. Our new car has made life a lot easier. You can contact them by email: 760PLUSCREDITSCORE@GMAIL.COM

Thank you so much 760Plus Credit Score for helping me increase my credit score and delete derogatory remarks. It took just within 2 weeks for them to get my credit back to excellent. Now I've been pre-approved for a mortgage loan and I'm currently home shopping! It's a dream come true and a personal goal accomplished with your help. THANKS! I'm recommending them to any person in dire need of a credit fix (760pluscreditscore @ gmail . com). You can thank me later!

I'm very happy to be one of those writing positive comments about credit companies; because prior to me contacting Jerrylink Credit Group, I had actually tried different credit companies to no avail. Jerry was very helpful and responsive through the whole process. They helped me erase bankruptcy, late payments, inquiries, collections, charge-offs, card debts and raised my credit scores to excellent across all three bureaus. Are looking to fix your credit, I strongly recommend Jerrylink Credit Group. You can look them up for contact details or write them via jerrylinkgroup@gmail.com.

After going through a messy repossession in 2020, my credit score dropped to Equifax: 512, TransUnion: 504, Experian: 509. All attempts to restore my creditworthiness to a good rating had been unsuccessful. About a month ago while I was browsing a credit blog, I came across a comment by Evelyn about 760Plus Credit Score. I reached out to them out of desperation, and asked if he could help fix my credit score too. He responded positively and I had to subscribe to his services. I pulled my score after several days as I was instructed. Imagine my surprise when I discovered my score had been boosted to Equifax: 781, TransUnion: 772, and Experian 779. I’m recommending their services as promised. Reach out to them via: 760PLUSCREDITSCORE@GMAIL.COM

I appreciate your mentioning that gathering the metals is the initial stage in the recycling of scrap metal. From her factory, my sister has some metal furniture that she wants to discard. I'll advise her to get the scrap metals recycled by a metal recycling business.
