Selma Recycling
How often do you think you’ve tossed out something that could have been recycled and earned you money? Maybe
you’re asking yourself, why would a Selma recycling facility pay me cash for something I think of as garbage?
Well, Bracken Recycling’s Selma recycling division helps the environment by recycling and repurposing many types
of metal that would otherwise be trash so they can be turned into new items. Selma recycling also helps minimize
ozone-depleting substance emissions coming from landfills.
What Kind of Metal is Recyclable?
Items you bring to our Selma recycling division can include different types of ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
What makes ferrous and non-ferrous metals different is the iron found in ferrous metals that does not exist in
non-ferrous metals. Ferrous metals are also magnetic. You can read here, from the Steel Recycling Institute,
that “steel is the world’s most recycled material. The amazing metallurgical properties of steel allow it to be
recycled continually with no degradation in performance, and from one product to another.” These frequently
recycled materials are acceptable for Selma recycling:
Ferrous Metals
Metal Fencing & Roofing
Structural Steel
Iron
Carbon Steel
Tin
Mild Steel
Non-ferrous Metals
Stainless Steel
Brass
Aluminum
Lead
Copper
Zinc
