Metals
Different types of metals are found in appliances, piping, structural components (e.g., steel i-beam and rebar), and structures such as outbuildings and tanks. Metals are often one of the most valuable components in construction and demolition projects and therefore one of the most economical to recycle. Scrap metal recyclers operate in most communities and typically pay for the materials they accept.
