Before Visiting The Yards
When you bring scrap metal to our public yards, there’s a few tips you’ll need to know.
Preparation
Wear old clothes, expect to get a little dirty and safety is a top priority.
Ferrous vs. Non-Ferrous Metals
How can you tell ferrous and non-ferrous metals apart? It’s pretty easy, actually – a magnet is all you need to know the difference. Magnetic = Ferrous and Non-Magnetic = Non-Ferrous
