Smiths Metal Recyclers

Non-ferrous metals include aluminium, brass, copper, nickel, tin, lead, and zinc, as well as precious metals like gold and silver. Non-ferrous metals can be bent or shaped more easily than ferrous metals, they are also usually much lighter (not lead and gold though - they're really heavy!). They tend not to rust or corrode so much, which is why you’ll find these materials in use for gutters, water pipes, roofing, and road signs. Finally, they are also non-magnetic, which makes them perfect for use in small electronics and as electrical wiring.
