What we accept

Nonferrous metals contain little or no iron and are valued for being lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and excellent conductors. At Legacy Scrap, the most common nonferrous materials we purchase include:

• Aluminum:
  Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and highly recyclable; commonly found in cans, car parts, and building materials.

• Copper:
  Known for its excellent electrical and thermal conductivity; used in electrical wiring, plumbing pipes, and electronics.

• Brass:
  An alloy of copper and zinc that’s easy to work with and resists corrosion; found in plumbing fittings, decorative pieces, and musical instruments.

• Stainless Steel:
  Corrosion-resistant thanks to chromium content; used in appliances, sinks, kitchenware, and medical equipment.

• Tin:
  Mainly used for food packaging (like cans) and as a key ingredient in solder for electronics.

• Lead:
  Heavy and corrosion-resistant; commonly found in batteries, weights, and shielding materials.

• Zinc:
  Frequently used to galvanize steel to prevent rust, and found in die-cast items and some types of batteries.

 Ferrous metals are iron-based and widely used in construction, manufacturing, and everyday products. At Legacy Scrap, the most common ferrous materials we purchase include:

• Clean Sheet Iron: Unpainted, free of major non-metal parts—common in demolition or fabrication scrap.
   
• Sheet Iron (Appliances): “Regular” or dirty sheet iron from appliances like washers, dryers, and stoves.
   
• Cast Iron: Heavy, dense metal found in old pipes, bathtubs, machinery, and engine blocks.
   
• Auto Cast: Automotive cast iron such as brake rotors and drums.
   
• Engines & Transmissions: Scrap engines and transmissions from vehicles and equipment.
   
• Heavy Melt Steel: Thick steel from machinery, equipment, or demolition—great for melting and recycling.
   
• Plate & Structural Steel (P&S): Beams, plates, and large steel from construction and demolition projects.
   
• Torch Work: Oversized or heavy items (truck frames, heavy equipment, yellow iron, forklifts) that require torch cutting for processing.
