Metals We Recycle
Aluminum is soft, lightweight, fire-proof and heat-resistant, easy to work into new shapes, and able to conduct electricity. It reflects light and heat very effectively and it doesn't rust
Lead acid batteries include but are not limited to: car batteries, golf cart batteries, UPS batteries, industrial fork-lift batteries Steelcase batteries, motorcycle batteries, and commercial batteries.
Compressors or Sealed Units, are often used in refrigerators, freezers and air conditioning units. They have copper windings inside the steel shell but worth less than electric motors due to oil and steel content.
Clean copper clippings, punchings, busbars, commutator segments, tubing and wire not less than 1/16 of an inch thick.
Know the difference between #1 and #2 Copper. #2 usually consist of tubing that has soldered elbows and contains insulation
No.1 Bare Bright Copper shall consist of bare, uncoated, unalloyed copper wire, not smaller than 16 gauge.
Copper Electric Motors consists of electric motors and small copper coil windings from motors. To get full value just disconnect from mounting base, pulley or pump.
ALUMINUM COPPER RADIATORS
Aluminum Copper Radiators, also known as ACR's, can be found in numerous amounts of machinery, like air conditioner units.
ALUMINUM AUTO RADIATORS
Dirty Auto Radiators – Aluminum radiators that are free from the copper tubing running throughout and found in cars/trucks.
Stainless Steel is a form of steel containing chromium. It is resistant to tarnishing, corrosion and rust associated with exposure to water or moist air. There are numerous types of stainless steel such as 17-4, 300, 304, 310, 316, 321 and 400 Series that bigger facilities mostly generate. However, homeowners and demolition companies will sell items such as old sinks, gas grills and kitchen appliances.
Steel is a hard, strong, gray or bluish-gray alloy of iron with carbon and usually other elements, used extensively as a structural and fabricating material. Steel and iron are the most recycled materials in the world due in part to the opportunity to recover large structures as well as the ease of reprocessing. The use of magnets in the sorting process enables recyclers to easily separate them. Nearly 40 percent of worldwide steel production is made using recycled steel.
There is a wide range of electrical wire that could fall into the classification of #1 insulated wire; including any wire that has strands.
Similar to #1 wire, #2 Insulated has an even a wider range of electrical wire that could fall into its classification. Most all wire that has smaller.
Shred the strings and bulbs into smaller pieces. Those pieces are then separated into raw materials (plastic, glass, copper) and reused to make new products, like slipper soles.
