If you are not sure about a particular material, just ask the Maxilead Metals team for advice.
Contaminated, radioactive and heavily corroded metals are not suitable for recycling. These may include paint and oil cans, treated metal cooking pans, items that contain mercury or radioactive materials like radium or plutonium, and any severely rusted items.
Once we receive your scrap metal, the team at Maxilead set to work recycling as much of it as we can. We separate and sort all metals into different kinds, then weigh them.
Rusted metal may be recycled as long as the corrosion has not eaten through too much of the material. Metal that is rusty is likely to be of poorer quality, so it is worth less.
Maxilead Metals always offers the best possible price for any scrap metal. However, there are some things you can do to increase the value of your metal waste.
This includes separating it by type, cleaning it and removing any non-recyclable elements – as this reduces the number of man hours our team will need to spend doing this. The class and quality of the metals you bring to us will also determine your remuneration amount.
The “market value” of scrap metal depends on levels of demand for a certain material vs the volume of supply, the influence of the stock market, the cost of shipping the metal and the rates offered by different processing plants.
