Types of Scrap Metal to Recycle Around The Office
If you want to clear out some clutter or unwanted items from around the office or business premises, you might be unsure about exactly how to dispose of everything. You might wish to be eco-friendly, but you don't really know what can be recycled and what can't be recycled. One of the things you can probably recycle is any metal items, which could range from appliances and electrical equipment to gardening and DIY tools.
The first thing that you need to do is identify items that could be suitable for metal recycling, whether they're partly or entirely made of metal. Use the following tips to collect waste metal from around your office or premises that could be recycled.
What Types of Scrap Metal Can Be Recycled?
First, it's helpful to know what types of metal can be recycled. While not all metals can be recycled, there is a range of different metals that are suitable for recycling. Metals that our waste handlers can recycle include ferrous metals (metals containing iron), non-ferrous metals (those that don't contain iron), stainless steel, copper, aluminium, brass, and bronze. Even if you're not an expert in different types of metal, you can probably think of items around your office that include these metals.
Common Items from Your office That You Can Scrap
You most likely don't just have lumps of metal sitting around your office or premises, but there are many common household items made from metal that can be recycled. Here are some of the items you might be able to recycle with a waste-carrying firm.
Cookware
Cookware is often made from the metal of different types. Pans, trays, kettles, cutlery, and other items may be made from stainless steel, copper, brass, or other common metals. Some of these items might be in a good enough condition to give to charity or even sell if you don't want them anymore. But they can also be recycled if they are no longer useful. Scrapping them is an eco-friendly way of getting rid of them.
Appliances
Household appliances usually contain a lot of metal, although they might also contain plastic or other materials. They can often be bulky and difficult to get rid of, but using a metal waste disposal service can make them easier to handle. Both larger and smaller household appliances can be recycled and stripped down to their different metal parts.
Electronics
Electronics can also contain a lot of metal that is recyclable. WEEE (waste electrical and electronic equipment) recycling is something that our team can handle. As well as the metals contained in electronics, we're able to recycle plastics and other materials.
Cans and tins
Food containers such as tins, cans, and other similar items can also be recycled. These are often made of easily recyclable metals such as aluminium and steel. You might put these items in your usual recycling waste, but large amounts can be easier to dispose of with a waste management and recycling service.
