Insights and Expertise in Scrap Metal Handling

Tools of the Trade: Unveiling the Magnet's Wisdom

When delving into the world of scrap metal, equipping yourself with the right tools can make a world of difference. One such tool is the trusty magnet, more than just a simple device. It's a key instrument in identifying and assessing the value of metals, distinguishing between ferrous and nonferrous metals with finesse.

Cracking the Magnet Code: Ferrous vs. Nonferrous

Discovering whether a metal is ferrous or nonferrous is as simple as letting a magnet guide you:

  • Magnet Attraction: If the magnet eagerly clings to the metal's surface, you're dealing with ferrous metal. Think steel and iron. While these metals might not fetch grand rewards, they still hold value and are gladly accepted at TMS.

  • Magnet Resistance: A metal that resists the magnet's pull falls under the nonferrous category. Precious metals like copper and aluminum, prized for their resistance to corrosion, conductivity, and lightweight properties, find their home here.

Containers stand as more than mere vessels; they're your partners in the sorting dance. With a container catered to each type of scrap metal, sorting becomes a breeze.

Golden Rules for Interacting with TMS:

  1. Sort with Precision: To prevent potential sorting fees or payouts based on the least valuable metal in the mix, ensure metals of the same type are grouped together. For instance, copper should be segregated from aluminum.

  2. Weigh & Pay Service: Maximize your convenience with our Weigh & Pay service. A member of our friendly team arrives at your premises, weighing your scrap metal on the spot and rewarding you with instant cash.

  3. Bulk Transport Solutions: For those loads that outgrow our bins, we've got your back. Our semi-trucks and flat-top trucks can handle even the most substantial loads.

While we're your go-to for scrap metal recycling, please note that on-site sorting, cleaning, and contamination removal are not permitted.

Metal Know-How: Decoding the Basics

A bit of basic metal knowledge goes a long way in estimating your scrap's value:

Ferrous Metals:

  • Steel: Magnetic and commonly found in old washing machines.

  • Iron: Also magnetic, often present in whitegoods.

Nonferrous Metals:

  • Copper: Valuable, reddish when new, often found in power cords, plumbing pipes, and more.

  • Aluminum: Non-magnetic, may resemble steel, found in window frames and more.

  • Stainless Steel: Nonferrous due to its nickel content, commonly in appliances and automotive equipment.

  • Brass: A yellowish heavy metal used in keys, valves, and doorknobs.

  • Bronze: A corrosion-resistant alloy of various metals, including copper.

  • Lead: Soft, flexible, and heavy, used in wheel weights and pipes.

Remember, we're here to assist in identifying metals through appearance or specialized devices.
