Manufacturing Scrap Metal is often a byproduct of metal fabricators. It becomes the raw material for metal recyclers. To ensure the quality of the product, recyclers should be vigilant about the quality of their incoming raw materials. If what you are selling is of good quality and free of impurities, then the scrap is worth more.

If you are selling Industrial Metal Scrap make sure that it is sorted and clean for it to have higher value. To avoid added work in sorting, make sure that the scraps are not mixed together in the first place. Make sure that turnings are separate from cutoffs as well as the punchings and sheets. Avoid downgrading premium materials by combining them with low-grade materials.
Place brass, steel, and aluminum in specific containers. If you put copper turnings with steel turnings, it can make the copper worthless. Also, it would help if you segregate alloys that are made from different material. Aluminum alloys decrease in value if mixed with other materials.
Using ideally sized containers which are available from your recycling facility will help maximize your ROI. Make sure that the containers are serially numbered so that you can track and audit payments later.
Keep in mind that Scrap Metal loses its value if it is contaminated with lubricants and cutting fluids. Reclaim its value by draining the liquid.
To avoid mixing different materials, make sure that you use different containers. There will still be some mixing, but it will be kept to a bare minimum.
The government is now taking a proactive approach in making sure the environment is protected. They do this by imposing laws and regulations on scrap management. They also now impose penalties on companies violating these regulations. One of their implemented measures is ensuring that liquids do not leak.
The impact of these leakages to the environment can have years of impact. They are cases when the courts have held companies liable for leaking contaminants into the ground.
Because some toxic fluids come with the scrap metal, recycling facilities should be engineered to process and ship every material properly.
You must consider the value of your scrap. Machine sorting is inexpensive even though some new equipment and training are needed for its operation. The cost of cutting scrap to premium size can be recovered because you will need fewer labor hours to load and move the same weight and the price you receive will increase.
Segregating and cleaning scrap pays off. It is possible for the recycler to examine your operations and make precise recommendations regarding optimum container sizes and styles as well as crusher and spinner systems.
The most critical step in protecting the value of the Scrap Metal is keeping track of it from the point of origin to the recycler’s yard. If your scrap is not graded or handled accurately, they will not know what is inside the containers, so it is likely to be downgraded. In the end you will only be getting minimal revenue.
Complete documentation which authenticates the amount and sale of your scrap is called an audit trail. To create a trail, utilize only serial numbered containers in every container in your plant before it is picked up. Create a bill of lading that records the gross and net weights along with the container serial numbers and the material actually found inside the container. You must specify the commodity, grade size pieces, as well as cleanliness.
