Segregating your scrap metal collection by type not only saves you time negotiating with your scrap metal merchant. It also ensures that the amount paid to you is fair. If your metal-detecting skills are a bit rusty, the following tips will get that fixed in no time.

Magnets are your best friend. They will help you distinguish common ferrous metals like iron and steel from the more pricey non-ferrous metals like copper and aluminium. The less they stick to the magnet, the richer you’ll be.
Prepare separate containers for each of the metals. You don’t want your copper to be paid the same way as your aluminium just because they’re in the same basket.
Dress for the occasion. Metals come in different shapes and strengths so wear protective gears like gloves and boots.
Know the properties of your basic metals, most notably iron, steel, copper, aluminium, brass, lead and stainless steel.
Be sure to study the price table. The price varies everyday so the right timing will get you the most profit.

With these pointers, you’re now a step further with your metal recycling. Proceed to view our listings of local scrap metal merchants to get you started. Check them out and start your money-making eco-friendly journey now!
