Scrap Metal recycling audit in progress.

Free Scrap Metal Audit

Our FREE scrap metal audit reviews your current recycling process to identify opportunities to improve efficiency and profitability.

During the audit, we evaluate:

  • The types of scrap you generate
  • How materials are separated and stored
  • Opportunities to increase value and streamline pickups

This service is available to both new and existing customers at no cost.

Ferrous Metal Recycling (Steel & Iron)

Ferrous metals contain iron and are typically magnetic. Even when rusted or corroded, these materials can usually still be recycled.

Common ferrous materials include:

  • Heavy melting steel
  • Structural steel and plate
  • Forgings and turnings
  • Stainless steel
  • Industrial equipment and production scrap

Greenway ensures you receive maximum value for your industrial ferrous scrap.

Non-Ferrous Metal Recycling (Higher-Value Metals)

Non-ferrous metals are non-magnetic and can be recycled repeatedly without losing quality. These materials often carry higher market value.

Common non-ferrous materials include:

  • Aluminum
  • Copper
  • Insulated wire
  • Brass and bronze
  • Nickel and specialty alloys

At Greenway, we help businesses maximize returns on non-ferrous scrap through proper grading and market expertise.
