Scrap Items

Scrap steel comes from many different sources because it is very easily recycled. Some scrap comes from within the steelworks, where it might have been damaged or is at the end of a batch of one type of steel. It also comes from old car bodies, old ship containers, and buildings that have been demolished.

 Another source of scrap can be found in our homes. Steel cans (food cans, pet food cans, aerosols, paint cans etc.) are collected as part of council curbside collections and can be recycled an infinite number of times.
