Commonly Found Metal
Scrap On Construction Sites For Recycling
We all know that any construction site or
manufacturing industry has the highest amount of
metal scrap. Check out the following list that
might help you.

• Carbon Steel
•  
• As you know, carbon steel is an alloy made of
  carbon and iron. It is known mainly for its
  strength and rigidity.
• You might be wondering about the usage of carbon
  steel in construction sites.
• Most widely used in constructing the beams in the
  structural framework, plates for highway
• construction, and rectangular tubing for brides.
•  
• Carbon steels are durable and are used to make
  rebars and hollow structural sections.

• 
  Aluminium
•  
• Aluminium is corrosion-resistant and highly
  conductive. The best part about aluminium is that
  it is resistant to harsh weather conditions. Due
  to this reason, it is perfect to use as a
  framework for windows and doors and wiring for
  the outdoor street lights.
•  
• If you have aluminium scrap at your
  construction site better utilise it by recycling.

Stainless Steel

• Construction sites use stainless steel in almost
  everything. Few of the top buildings around the
  world like Chrysler Building, Empire State
  Building, and La Pyramide Du Louvre used
  stainless steel for their construction.
•  
• Stainless steel is a group of iron alloys and
  10.6 chromium. Higher the level of chromium, the
  more corrosion-proof. The best thing about
  stainless steel is that it is strong, ductile,
  durable, and stain-resistant.
• These are the most recycling metals today.

Copper

• Copper is a very ductile and malleable metal and
  used for piping and electrical wiring. Copper is
  easily weld and is also corrosion-resistant. It
  is also ideal for piping and refrigerant lines in
  the HVAC systems and heat pumps.
•  
• Copper is a valuable metal that is recyclable and
  used in construction for its strength and
  ductility.
•  
• Copper, steel, stainless steel, aluminium, and
  copper are valuable to the construction industry
  and used in constructing many iconic buildings.
  If you have tons of scrap metal in your
  construction sites, take it to the recycling
