Ferrous vs. non-ferrous scrap: how to sort it correctly

Ferrous scrap (steel, cast iron) contains iron and is attracted to a magnet. Non-ferrous materials—copper, brass, aluminium and austenitic stainless steel—are not.

Sorting by grade (bright copper, burnt copper, brass, aluminium profiles, aluminium sheet) significantly increases the price received upon delivery.

For large lots, send photos and the estimated quantity—we carry out on-site assessments.
