  1. Tips For Sorting Scrap Metal If you're sorting scrap metal in Conyers, it's important to do your research and find a scrap yard that pays fair prices and makes the sorting process as easy as possible. With these tips, you'll be on your way to a successful scrap metal business! Here are some tips to help you sort scrap metal e?ciently: Separate Ferrous and Non-Ferrous Metals The first step in sorting scrap metal in Conyers is to separate ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Ferrous metals contain iron and are magnetic, while non-ferrous metals do not contain iron and are not magnetic. To separate the two, use a magnet. If the magnet sticks to the metal, it's ferrous. If it doesn't stick, it's non-ferrous. Sort Non-Ferrous Metals by Type Once you've separated the ferrous and non-ferrous metals, it's time to sort the non-ferrous metals by type. Common types of non-ferrous metals include aluminum, brass, copper, stainless steel, and lead. You can use color, weight, and other physical properties to help you identify the di?erent types of non-ferrous metals. Strip Insulated Wire

  2. If you have insulated wire to sort, it's important to strip o? the insulation before you sell it. Insulated wire is worth less than bare wire because it's harder to recycle. You can use a wire stripper or a razor blade to remove the insulation from the wire. Separate Di?erent Grades of Aluminum Aluminum is a common non-ferrous metal, but it comes in di?erent grades. The most common grades of aluminum are cast, sheet, and extruded. Cast aluminum is used to make engine parts and other heavy-duty items, while sheet aluminum is used for things like gutters and roofing. Extruded aluminum is used to make window frames and other thin, hollow items. Separating the di?erent grades of aluminum will help you get the best price for your scrap. Conclusion Sorting scrap metal can be a profitable business, but it requires a systematic approach and attention to detail. By separating ferrous and non-ferrous metals, sorting non-ferrous metals by type, stripping insulated wire, separating di?erent grades of aluminum, keeping your metals clean, and knowing your scrap yard, you can maximize your profits and make the most of your scrap metal.
