The extraction of metal from natural sources is associated with significant costs and material investments, therefore the use of secondary resources for this purpose is a good alternative, and makes up a high percentage of the total production. In this regard, the purchase price for scrap of ferrous and non-ferrous metals and their waste is high today.
What scrap can be handed over
Scrap can be handed over to both a legal entity and an individual. For this, there are specialized procurement sites. The accepted metal is subdivided into non-ferrous and black. Non-ferrous ones include copper, brass, lead, aluminum, high-alloy steels, magnesium, zinc and other metals and alloys. Various grades of carbon steels, cast iron are ranked as black.
For enterprises and organizations, this type of scrap can include out-of-order or decommissioned equipment, metalworking waste, special equipment and vehicles disposed of in the scrap. Individuals can benefit from broken and outdated household appliances, car parts, plumbing and piping equipment.
To prepare raw materials for delivery, it is necessary to pre-sort the metal, since each brand has its own purchase price. It is desirable to divide ferrous metal according to overall dimensions, but you can hand over ferrous scrap and so, in mixed form as a mixture.
The raw materials prepared for delivery must not contain explosive and radioactive substances. Products containing non-ferrous metal can be disassembled and divided into certain types of raw materials, so it will be more profitable. For example, remove copper winding from transformers and electric motors, remove insulation from wires, remove iron objects from aluminum parts, etc.
Acceptance of scrap metal in St. Petersburg is as follows: you must contact the waste collection point by contact phone, and find out the cost of scrap at the moment and the mode of operation of the organization.
