Why let your ferrous scrap rust away when it could pay you back?
Millions of tons of ferrous metal scrap get dumped in landfills in the US, including Porter and Lake County, every year. But all of this scrap, from old appliances to structural steel, has value. That’s where ferrous scrap recycling comes in. It not only puts money in your pocket but also declutters and protects the environment.
Dynamic Metal Recycling is a family-owned business that specializes in recycling ferrous material. We accept a wide range of metals, including steel, cast iron, and more. If you have ferrous scrap metal, let us help you make some money and protect our environment!
What Are Ferrous Metals?
Ferrous metals primarily consist of iron, making them strong, durable, and perfect for many applications. The high percentage of iron lends these metals magnetic properties, which is why they are typically found in construction, electronics, home appliances, and vehicles.
But what truly sets them apart is their recyclability. With steel recycling and other processes, you can reuse these magnetic metals, reduce waste, and save our natural resources.
Since 2015, Dynamic Metal Recycling has helped businesses and individuals from Chesterton and LaPorte properly dispose of their ferrous metals. Give us a call if you want to recycle your ferrous metals instead of sending them to the dump.
