How to Prepare Your Recyclable Metals

A little preparation goes a long way. Follow these tips to help you get a fair assessment of your materials.

Separate Your Metals

Keep copper, aluminium, and brass in separate containers. Separating materials by type can help with accurate grading and faster processing.

2

Remove Contaminants

Strip plastic, rubber, wood, and other non-metal materials before you bring them in.

3

Keep It Dry

Water adds weight and can affect accurate grading. Let wet materials dry out when possible.
