What we accept

Non Ferrous Metal

Nonferrous metals are a category of metals that do not contain significant amounts of iron. They are valued for their properties like corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity, and lightweight nature.

  • Aluminum: Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and highly recyclable, aluminum is used in various applications, including aerospace, automotive, and packaging.
  • Copper: Known for its excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, copper is used in wiring, plumbing, and electrical components.
  • Brass: An alloy of copper and zinc, brass is valued for its malleability, corrosion resistance, and decorative properties. It's often used in musical instruments, plumbing fixtures, and decorative items.
  • Bronze: Another copper alloy, bronze, typically contains tin, though other elements may be added. It's used in sculptures, bearings, and historical artifacts.
  • Stainless Steel: This steel alloy contains chromium, which provides corrosion resistance. Stainless steel is used in kitchen appliances, cutlery, medical instruments, and architectural applications.
  • Tin: Tin is used in the production of tinplate for food packaging and in solder for electronics.
  • Precious Metals: This category includes metals like gold, silver, and platinum, often used in jewelry, coins, and industrial applications such as electronics and catalytic converters.

Ferrous Metal

Ferrous steel, often simply referred to as "steel," is a versatile and widely used alloy that primarily consists of iron and a small percentage of carbon. It is one of the most essential and ubiquitous materials in the world, known for its exceptional strength, durability, and adaptability to a wide range of applications. Here's a description of ferrous steel with examples:


  • Carbon Steel: This is the most basic and widely used form of ferrous steel, consisting primarily of iron and carbon. Carbon steel can be further categorized into several subtypes, such as:
    • Mild Steel: Used in construction for beams and columns.
    • High-Strength Low-Alloy (HSLA) Steel: Used in automotive frames and structural applications.
    • Tool Steel: Designed for cutting, drilling, and machining tools.


  • Alloy Steel: This type of steel contains additional elements like manganese, chromium, or vanadium to enhance specific properties, such as strength, hardness, and heat resistance. It's used in automotive components, aircraft parts, and industrial machinery.
  • Structural Steel: Designed for use in construction, structural steel provides the framework for buildings, bridges, and other large structures.
  • Rail Steel: A specialized steel used for the construction of railway tracks, known for its durability and resistance to wear and tear.
  • Shipbuilding Steel: Steel used in the construction of ships and maritime structures, designed to withstand harsh marine environments.
  • Rebar (Reinforcing Bar): Ribbed steel bars used in reinforced concrete structures to enhance their tensile strength and prevent cracking.
  • Galvanized Steel: Steel coated with a layer of zinc to protect it from corrosion. It's used in outdoor applications like fencing, roofing, and water pipes.


Ferrous steel's versatility, strength, and ability to be molded into various shapes make it essential in everyday products, infrastructure, machinery, and countless other items that we rely on for our modern way of life.
