- Use extra care when backing up and dumping material
WE WANT YOUR METAL!
CONTENTO’S PROCESSES & RECYCLES YOUR METAL
CONTENTO’S collects, processes, and recycles ferrous and non-ferrous metals. To get a better understanding of the difference between these two metals we have provided brief descriptions of each below.
FERROUS METAL:
Ferrous metals are those that contain iron. They can be a mixture of other metals or elements, but all ferrous materials contain some form of iron, which give them a magnetic quality and make them prone to corrosion. Ferrous metals include many types of steel and cast iron.
NON-FERROUS METAL:
Non-ferrous metals are the opposite of ferrous – they don’t contain any iron. They will not have a magnetic quality and typically resist corrosion much better than ferrous metals. The category of non-ferrous metals also includes raw materials – pure metals. Aluminum, copper, aluminum alloys, lead, and gilding metals are all considered non-ferrous metals.
