By scrap metal , or in other words scrap metal , we mean those parts of metal products that have become, for various reasons, unsuitable for use for their intended purpose. Most often, the unsuitability of such products and or their parts occurs due to their physical wear and tear under the influence of various factors - this is the effect of unfavorable natural conditions, deformation as a result of increased loads during operation, or the duration of use. Scrap metal is also formed due to the obsolescence of certain products and their parts - that is, they are simply no longer needed.
Non-ferrous scrap is one of the most valuable types of scrap metal. It is widely known that products and rolled metal products from non-ferrous metals (such as copper, zinc, aluminum and others) have an order of magnitude higher cost than products from ferrous metals, for example, steel or cast iron of various grades. The high cost of non-ferrous metals is due to the special conditions and volume of extraction of non-ferrous metal ores from the bowels and the peculiarities of the processes of their enrichment and smelting. In this regard, the secondary raw materials used from such scrap metal significantly reduce the cost of the final product made from copper, tin, aluminum and other non-ferrous metals.
Not only primary raw materials, but even non-ferrous metal scrap exceeds the price of ferrous scrap metal several times, and sometimes tens of times. Therefore, for the recyclers of such scrap, the question is always relevant - where to find it at the cheapest possible price? Of course, the cheapest way is to independently search and buy household fittings, pipes or appliances that contain non-ferrous metals. But this requires investment of time and fuel for vehicles. Therefore, it is better to trust those who are directly involved in the collection, purchase of scrap, sorting it for the purpose of further resale. Often, the sale is carried out by those who specialize in the dismantling of buildings or the processing of household waste, as well as enterprises of other similar profiles. In order to find the best option, it is enough to type a corresponding request in the Internet search engines or revise ads in newspaper headings with the phrase, for example, selling scrap copper , write down phone numbers and call for information about the price. But do not forget that you should also be interested in the quality of the scrap, whether it is pure or comes with an alloy of other metals, in which products the scrap is contained. After all, not always the cheapest option will be the most optimal and will meet your needs.
