Ferrous or Non-Ferrous?This is the first step, try to understand if your scrap metal is a ferrous or non-ferrous metal; if it is a ferrous metal it will contain iron and if it is non-ferrous it will not. You will need a magnet for this step; if the magnet sticks to your scrap, it is likely to be ferrous metal. Note: non-ferrous metals are usually the more profitable ones!<\/li><li><strong>Clean your metal<\/strong>. Try to remove, wherever it is possible extra attachments on the metal, such us other metals or other materials like plastic, for example. If your scrap metal has other materials attached to it, it may be downgraded.<\/li><li><strong>Sort your metal by type<\/strong>. If you have different metals, separate them and put them into different containers. If you bring mixed metal to a scrap yard, you may only get paid for the value of the least valuable metal in your container. Your aluminum, copper, iron, steel scrap need to be separated!<\/li><li><strong>Find a local scrap yard<\/strong>. Look no further for this.
