Frequently Asked Questions
Which metals can be recycled?

All metal can be recycled, reprocessed, and reused. This includes iron, steel, copper, aluminum, nickel, tin, titanium, magnesium, lead, chromium, zinc, all precious metals, and all other ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It also includes commodities that contain metal, such as appliances, vehicles, farm equipment, power tools, construction equipment, electronics, and more.

Which metals do you recycle?

Although we specialize in iron, here at Garden City Iron & Metal, we recycle any and all metals! It doesn’t matter what condition they are in, we accept and recycle iron, steel, copper, nickel, brass, aluminum, and much more! We even buy precious metals like platinum, zirconium, gold, silver, tungsten, cobalt, and more.

What is non-ferrous and ferrous metal?

There is a very simple way to learn if a metal is ferrous or not. Just find a magnet and see if it sticks! If it is magnetic, it is ferrous; and if it is not magnetic, it is non-ferrous. You see, non-ferrous metals are metals that DO NOT contain iron, and ferrous metals DO contain iron. Non-ferrous simply means non-iron.

How much is my scrap metal worth?

The total value of your scrap metal depends on several factors, with the primary factor being the current market prices for metal.

Which metals are worth the most?

As a result of lower availability and higher demand, copper and brass have a higher market value; so they tend to render the most money at scrap metal yards. In contrast, metals like iron and steel are very abundant, so they usually retain lower market value and demand, thus delivering less profit at scrap metal centers.
