Benefits of Recycling Metal

Recycling metals not only saves energy and precious natural resources, but it creates jobs, lowers the trade deficit and helps consumers earn money.

Environmental

The burden on natural resources is drastically decreased when we recycle scrap metal. Recycling one ton of steel conserves 2,500 pounds of iron ore, 1,400 pounds of coal and 120 pounds of limestone.

Energy Conservation

The process of recycling metal uses less energy than making brand new metal. This cuts down on greenhouse gas emissions and allocates energy for other purposes, like heating and lighting our homes.

Economic

U.S. trade balances get a boost from scrap metals. Plus, the industry supports hundreds of thousands of jobs, with numbers growing every year, and many high-skill jobs in science and engineering.

Consumer

Consumers can get paid for scrap metal. Depending on the type and amount of metal you have to recycle, your scrap metal heaps may equate to hundreds or even thousands of dollars in extra cash.
