Two More of the Most Valuable Scrap Materials

When you go on the hunt for different types of metal, it’s likely that you will make the mistake of only looking for precious metals such as gold and silver. While you would be correct in assuming that these metals have a high amount of value, there are a great number of other metals that can still fetch you a fairly decent price. Below you will find two of them.

Aluminum

A lot of the value of aluminum comes not from its price per pound, but from how easy it is to find. You can probably easily find a large number of soda cans in any given area without much effort. Also, remember that the popularity of aluminum in many products (not just soda cans) and the fact that it is cheaper for companies to buy recycled aluminum than to make new aluminum are driving up the price as well. You can find aluminum in soda cans, bicycles, aluminum foil, exercise equipment, and furniture and take it to scrap metal dealers NJ.

Stainless Steel

One of the reasons why stainless steel is so valuable is that it is a very strong material that isn’t damaged easily. Another reason is the fact that it is made of many other valuable metals such as chromium, nickel, iron, and molybdenum. Stainless steel can be found in such things as appliances and car parts. Bear in mind that stainless steel will be worth more if it is clean, so be sure to clean your steel. Also, some stainless steel is worth more depending on the amount of nickel in a product.

In general, it’s good to keep on top of different information about scrap metal if you become interested in recycling scrap metal. This will keep you from making far less money than what you need or want.
