    At SouthCoast Metal Recycling, we are equipped to purchase and recycle a variety of materials that you may be wanting to get rid of. Including ferrous and non-ferrous metals, we process a plethora of materials in order to ensure that we are able to completely satisfy your needs.

    Ferrous vs. Non-Ferrous

    Ferrous scrap generally consists of iron or carbon steel. Ferrous materials are usually used in the manufacturing of vehicles, shipping containers, and railroads due to their strength and durability. These scraps tend to be susceptible to rusting and corrosion when exposed to moisture or acidity.

    On the other hand, non-ferrous materials do not contain iron or carbon steel and are able to be recycled an infinite amount of times. For example, aluminum, brass, lead, and copper can be recycled over and over due to the fact that they do not lose their physical or chemical properties during the recycling process.
