The easiest way to determine whether or not the metal you question is ferrous or nonferrous is by using a magnet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the magnet sticks to the metal, then the metal is most likely ferrous. If the magnet does not stick, then the item is a non-ferrous metal.&nbsp; Non-ferrous metals are worth more money than ferrous metals. Although ferrous metals are not worth much, they are still accepted at scrap metal yards and can be recycled for good use.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:25px\">Most Common Ferrous Metals:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">\u2611 Stainless Steel<br>\u2611 Iron<br>\u2611 Carbon Steel<br>\u2611 Mild Steel<br>\u2611 Cast\/Wrought Iron<br>\u2611 Iron<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:25px\">Most Common Non-Ferrous Metals:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">\u2611 Copper<br>\u2611 Aluminum<br>\u2611 Brass<br>\u2611 Lead<br>\u2611 Tin<br>\u2611 Titanium<br>\u2611 Zinc<br>\u2611 Nickel<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:25px\">Common Non-Ferrous Precious Metals:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">\u2611 Gold<br>\u2611 Silver<br>\u2611 Platinum<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These metals and any commodity that contains traces of these metals can be recycled and reused over and over again.&nbsp; Metal recycling is a fantastic way to preserve our natural resources and surrounding environment.&nbsp; Also, most scrap metal companies offer cash for recyclable metal.&nbsp; The value of the metal generally determines the amount of money a person can earn from recycling ferrous and nonferrous metals.&nbsp; Also, the weight and bulk of the metal contributes to the monetary return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:19px\"><strong>Are you ready to sell your scrap metal for cash on the spot?<\/strong> <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zoresindy.com\/contact-us.php\" target=\"_blank\">Contact Zore\u2019s Indy<\/a> at 317-247-8484 to learn how to get started with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoresindy.com\/metal-recycling.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">scrap metal recycling service in Indianapolis, Indiana<\/a>.
