Metals
are one of the easiest things to recycle. Vehicles, appliances, food
packaging, industrial equipment, ships, railroad cars, buildings and bridges
are just a few of many products which contain metal. Metal is strong and
versatile and part of our everyday life. Recycling metals saves an enormous
amount of energy and resources than mining the raw materials.
So when you recycle
metal where does it go? It is sold to metal processors. Metal recycling is a
“closed loop” process, so old metal items are turned into new metal items.
And every ton of steel recycled saves 2,500 pounds of iron ore, 1,400 pounds
of coal, and 120 pounds of limestone. [Facts from the Steel Recycling
Institute.]
