We all know how important it is to recycle and reuse items like plastic bottles, hand-me-down clothing and newspapers to keep our planet green for the next generation.  Scrap metal recycling may not be as popularly known but it is every bit as important.  Scrap metal exports are one of the largest in the US and by recycling metals we reduce the amount of ore drilling throughout the world. These metals include copper, steel, aluminum, brass, iron and wires.
