Places to find scrap metal

If you don't actually have the materials in your home, there are definitely places to find scrap metal. Just make sure that your methods are legal. There are people that steal copper pipes from old industrial sites. This is not an honest route. The first spots to check are dumpsters, river banks and the sides of roads. Really, wherever you think people would be discarding materials. Beyond this, try stopping at businesses that work with metals. They may have extra parts that might have been too heavy for them to move out. Construction companies or auto parts shops are good candidates. This might be a given, but when you are searching for scrap metal in Long Island, drive a van or pickup truck. You never know when you'll stumble upon a goldmine of metal. The copper, steel or brass could be gone before you go back for more. Those metals are in high demand.We accept scrap metal from Wantagh, Amityville, Massapequa, Farmingdale, Bay Shore, Lindenhurst, Babylon, Bellmore, Seaford, Bethpage, Nassau, Suffolk.

Ain't nobody got time for that!Vintage Long Island junk cars are commonly less efficient with fuel. They do not have the latest technology for reducing air pollution and other emissions. The metals from vehicles use approximately 75% percent less energy than making new material. Recycled steel is cheaper because new ore is not mined. Because raw steel is required for producing new steel, the material in North America is recycled more than paper, plastic and glass.Recycling a Long Island junk car reduces the amount of non-sustainable materials created that would be used for a new car.

Junk cars can be recycled just like Long Island scrap metal and it provides a number of benefits to the environment. Nearly every junk car has a frame made of steel. When that steel is recycled, iron ore is saved. And since coal is required to refine iron ore into steel, every ton of steel that is recycled saves close to a half ton of coal. Are you still reading this? Great, thank you. There's more.The limestone that is destroyed for mining coal is saved, therefore protecting resources and saving time and energy. For junk cars, Nassau county recycling can be done at Irvings. The scrap metal of trucks and buses also reduce the amount of waste in landfills and stops dangerous chemicals from going into our groundwater.Recycling the steel of junk cars, junk trucks and junk buses halts the need to create new steel. This cuts the need to refine iron ore and make it into new steel for new cars. It is more efficient to melt down the old steel and re-make it than to mine for iron ore, send it to a refinery and use energy to form the steel. Coal-burning plants and refineries are the biggest contributor to greenhouse gases. If you need to recycle even one junk truck, Suffolk county has Irving Recyclables which can help reduce the amount of these gases in our air.
