By definition, ferrous metals are those that are either iron or steel. Nonferrous metals are metals that do not contain iron or steel. Clean, in the scrap metal industry, means one pure metal without other metals or materials attached to it or mixed with it. We buy it all and guarantee you the highest prices in our region.
The information below is subject to change without notice. You will always receive prompt courteous service at our processing and recycling center.
