At IMMIX Metal Recycling, we believe recycling should be simple, efficient, and rewarding. Whether you’re clearing out your shed, renovating your home, or managing industrial waste, sorting your scrap the right way ensures you get the best value while helping the environment.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to prepare your scrap for recycling:
1. Separate Ferrous and Non-Ferrous Metals
Ferrous metals (steel, iron) are magnetic and commonly used in construction.
Non-ferrous metals (aluminium, copper, brass, stainless steel) are non-magnetic and usually more valuable. 👉 Tip: Use a simple magnet – if it sticks, it’s ferrous; if not, it’s non-ferrous.
2. Clean Your Scrap
Remove plastics, wood, rubber, or other non-metal materials attached to your items. Clean scrap fetches a better price and makes recycling easier.
3. Organise by Category
Copper: Pipes, wires, plumbing fittings.
Aluminium: Cans, window frames, car parts.
Brass: Taps, fixtures, plumbing accessories.
Stainless Steel: Kitchenware, industrial offcuts. Sorting by category means quicker processing and fairer pricing.
4. Cut Down Large Items
Large machinery or oversized scrap should be cut into manageable pieces. This not only makes transportation easier but also ensures safer handling.
5. Bundle and Store Safely
Tie wires, bundle rods, and store small pieces in containers or bags. This prevents accidents and makes loading faster when you bring your scrap to IMMIX.
6. Weigh and Transport
Once sorted, load your scrap safely for delivery. IMMIX also offers collection services for larger volumes – making recycling hassle-free for you.
