Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is a non-ferrous metal heavily used by industrial and commercial companies for manufacturing, construction, and beyond. Stainless steel is commonly recycled in large batches to clear out work areas, benefit the environment, and earn income. Detroit Iron & Metal makes this process of scrap metal recycling easy and convenient.
Recycle Non-Ferrous Stainless Steel Scrap Metal
Detroit Iron & Metal accept all grades of stainless steel for recycling. Iron-free and not magnetic, the value of bulk stainless steel scrap can be higher than other types of metals because this material is corrosion resistant and lightweight, making them great for recycling, along with counterparts like aluminum, brass, and copper. As a non-ferrous alloy, stainless contains nickel and chromium, making it more valuable than regular steel recyclables.
Bulk Stainless Steel Recycling Accepted Items
Our recycling center accepts bulk quantities of stainless steel scrap metal from a variety of materials, including:
- Building materials
- Industrial equipment
- Test pieces and leftover parts
- Medical components
- Higher-value grades
If you are unsure whether your materials qualify or if there are materials that are or are not permitted as part of the stainless steel recycling process, just ask when you call to schedule a pick-up.
Detroit Iron & Metal Stainless Steel Recycling Process
Our goal is to make bulk recycling as easy and lucrative as possible for industrial and commercial enterprises. The recycling process our company uses for stainless steel scrap metal as well as other non-ferrous metals like aluminum, brass, copper, lead, and zinc is convenient and profitable for you. You can maximize the value of your stainless steel scraps by following these easy preparations:
- Itemize recyclables. Identify the amount of stainless steel you want to recycle, or if there are any other non-ferrous metals you also want to recycle which will require a separate container.
- Make plans. Explain your bulk recycling needs to our scheduler and arrange a date, time, and location for recycling bin dropoff. Determine the frequency of bulk recycling and establish a schedule for ongoing, regular service or request a one-time service or as needed.
- Receive the dropoff container. The amount and type of stainless steel you plan to recycle will determine the size of the needed roll-off container and where it can fit comfortably at your work site, business, or other commercial or industrial location.
- Load the container. Keep the roll-off container until it is full or until an agreed-upon pickup date is reached. Add recyclables as they accumulate, removing any attachments, plastic, rubber, or non-stainless-steel parts. Keep stainless steel recyclables separate from other metals, even other non-ferrous items.
- Await pick-up. Be ready to return the dropoff container to Detroit Iron & Metal on the designated pick-up date. We do all the transport and recycling so you don’t have to worry about moving recyclables.
