Is scrap metal bio degradable

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

scrap metal is not biodegradable in the most common sense of the word. Scrap metal should be recycled at your nearest scrap yard. By scrapping copper aluminum and iron scrap metal, depending on the current prices, you could sell it for a hefty amount of money. currently copper is 3 dollars per pound.
