Consumers and businesses can both benefit from integrating scrap metal yards into their lives and practices. Though the benefits may differ slightly, scrap metal recycling is becoming increasingly popular for a variety of reasons. Read on to see why you should recycle scrap metal through a yard.

Consumer Recycling

Every little bit counts, and even though consumers may produce less metal scrap than businesses, it’s still important to recycle! Something as small as an aluminum can built up over time can make a huge impact – it takes about 80-200 years for just one aluminum can to decompose. If your family is throwing even just one can away each week, that’s about 52 cans that will end up in a landfill along with every other family’s waste. BUT, there is a better solution: you can bring your cans into scrap metal yards for a profit! That’s right, yards like ours accept your metal scrap and give you cash in return. Learn more about what you can recycle as a consumer and make money off of.

Business Recycling

When you’re working in the automotive, electrical, HVAC, or most industries chances are you’re producing tons of metal scrap that just get dumped in the garbage at the end of the day. If you’re on of these businesses, then you are literally throwing away cash! These items can be traded at scrap metal yards for money that can help offset overhead costs, pay your employees’ salaries, and purchase more material. No matter if you’re a small business or large corporation, Community Recycling can work with you to increase your profits.
