Follow these steps:
1. Collect enough scrap metal. Scrap metal can be found in discarded metal pieces from houses, construction sites, demolition sites, and numerous other places.
2. Sort and clean the metal. Each metal has a different value at the scrap yard. Cleaning and sorting your metal pieces will fetch you a higher price.
3. At the recycling center, the metals are inspected and then re-processed, or smelted, to form bars or ingots, which can then be reused as new metal.
Metal scrap processing is an environmentally friendly business activity and very profitable at the same time because metal prices are gradually on the rise. Selling scrap to the junkyard can be an easy way to earn a few quick bucks for an individual or even a business owner - anyone who's left with enough accumulated scrap. As for me, once I've amassed a fair amount of scrap, I take it all down to the SIMS scrap yard that's located just a few miles from my house, which usually buys steel and non-ferrous metals.

What good does recycling scrap metal do for people?
Recycling scrap metal has immense benefits, from being environmentally friendly to having economic advantages. Recycling conserves the earth's natural resources which are limited in supply. Digging for ores and procuring new metal from it requires the use of fossil fuels, which in turn releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Thus recycling reduces air pollution and preserves fossil fuels which are in finite supply. It also saves massive amount of energy - producing metal from virgin ore requires several times more energy than recycling used metal. Everyone can and should recycle scrap metal - selling scrap metal can fetch a good sum of money as well as protect the environment. I usually drive down to the SIMS center for scrap metal recycling in Bronx once every few months - once I've amassed a fair amount of scrap that I can sell off.
