Steel is separated from other metals in scrap yards using a combination of physical and magnetic methods. Since steel is ferromagnetic, powerful magnets can attract and isolate it from non-magnetic metals like aluminum and copper. Additionally, processes such as shredding and screening can further sort materials based on size and density. Advanced techniques, like eddy current separators, may also be employed to enhance the separation efficiency.

What is FE ALUMINUM scrap metal?
FE Aluminum scrap metal refers to scrap materials that contain both ferrous (iron-based) and aluminum metals. This type of scrap can come from various sources, including old machinery, construction materials, and consumer products. The presence of ferrous materials can affect the recycling process, as aluminum must be separated from iron to ensure quality recycling. In recycling, such mixed metal scraps are typically processed to recover the valuable aluminum and ferrous metals for reuse.
What happens to scrap metals?
If you throw them in a waste basket, they will eventually get into a landfill. But if you are smart, you will take the scrap metal to a scrap metal recycling center (find one near you with google maps). These recycling centers will pay you CASH MONEY for your scrap metal. In other words, you can make money from what would otherwise be garbage. Once you recycle the scrap, it will get remelted into industrial grade materials. (aka copper, aluminum, lead, nickel, cobalt, iron, molybdenum, gold, platinum, silver ect)
What is bonus grade scrap?

Is scrap metal bio degradable?
From my experience working with Kangaroo Copper Recycling, scrap metal is not biodegradable in the way organic materials like food or paper are. Metals like steel, copper, and aluminium don’t break down into natural soil nutrients through biological processes; instead they persist for many years unless recycled. Metals can corrode or oxidise over time, but that’s not true biodegradation—so recycling at a proper facility is the best way to handle scrap metal responsibly.

Whenever I need accurate pricing, I check the current rates we follow at Kangaroo Copper Recycling, because we track market updates closely and adjust our offers fairly.
