Scrap Metal Recycling & Its Impact

Steel – One of the most in-demand metals purchased and processed at scrap yards and scrap metal merchants is steel. It often heads on to be used in vehicle manufacturing, as 60%+ of a vehicle is typically made from it! Other uses include producing furniture, appliances (e.g stoves and washing machines), packaging and in the construction industry, where it can take the form of fixtures, roofing and infrastructural systems. Epsom clients should keep in mind when contacting us to arrange metal collections, that we only accept small quantities of steel at a time. Larger formats/quantities may be slightly out of our wheelhouse – but it always pays to check.

Aluminium – When it comes to scrap metal recycling making a difference on the environmental front, few do it better than aluminium. Recycling savings 95% of the energy used in the primary production process, which makes it an incredibly sustainable material. The average scrap yard or scrap metal merchant in the Epsom area thus receives a huge quantity of aluminium, helped by how common it is – think of all those food and drink cans we go through! But aluminium is also used to manufacture bicycles, car doors, windows and an incredibly versatile range of commodities. A true all-star amongst non ferrous metals, recycling aluminium saves 97% of the greenhouse gas emission involved in primary production.

Copper – In Epsom and have a quantity of copper to sell? Visit your local scrap yard and scrap metal merchant, AMB Metal Recycling, just down the road in Dorking. Recycled copper holds a whopping 90% of the value of the original material, and its wide use for copper wiring and circuitry, as well as plumbing materials, make it perpetually in demand. If you have quite a large amount due to recently finishing re-wiring or re-fitting plumbing, why not give us a call to arrange metal collections whenever convenient?
