16 Creative Ideas-What Can Be Made From Recycled Metal?

Which Metals Can Be Recycled? Not all metals are the same when it comes to recycling. Your local scrap metal recycler has to separate metals according to their category. The scrap metal you bring in can be ferrous or non-ferrous. Ferrous metals mainly consist of iron, making them magnetic. Some common types of ferrous metals include alloy steel, carbon steel, cast iron, and wrought iron. It's easy to tell if a metal is ferrous or not by using a magnet against it. Non-ferrous metals aren't magnetic and are typically more malleable than ferrous metals. They're some of the most common metals used in everyday life.
