Recycling


 * Recycling **

When metal is picked up, dropped off, they sort the metals by type. After this is done the recycle workers move them to a melting pot (via conveyor belt) melt them into usable ingots and sell them/donate them to factories to reuse them. There are two type of scrap metals, ferrous and nonfferrous. Ferrous metals includes scrap from old cars, household appliances, steel beams, railroad tracks, ships, and food packaging and other containers. Nonferrous scrap metal is scrap metal other than iron and steel, example aluminium - including foil and cans, copper, lead, zinc, nickel, titanium, cobalt, chromium, and precious metals. Home scrap is make from the mill, refinery, or foundry, and it is remelted and used again at the same plant, so home scrap never leave the plants.
