Non-ferrous scrap metal is any metal or alloy that does not contain iron. These metals are not magnetic, which is one way you can determine for yourself what type of scrap metal you are dealing with. Non-ferrous metals are also more resilient when compared to ferrous ones. Non-ferrous items tend to last longer because they are more resistant to corrosion and rust.
Chances are that you probably encounter non-ferrous metals at least once during your day. Their malleable properties make them ideal for constructing objects like gutters, liquid pipes, roofing and outdoor signs. Non-ferrous metals are also at work in technology. Since they are not magnetic, non-ferrous metals are safe to use for a wide range of electronic or wiring tasks.
These objects can be brought to us for recycling as long as they are not stolen. You get the most competitive pricing when you bring your scrap metal to GT Scrap’s scrap yard in Chesterfield, MI.
