The biggest difference between ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metal is that while ferrous scrap metal may contain iron, non-ferrous metal does not. One of the most widely-recycled scrap metals, steel, is an example of a ferrous scrap metal. Other examples of ferrous scrap metal include light & cast iron. Ferrous metals are usually much more bulky than non-ferrous metals.
Separate ferrous from non ferrous metals. Iron, steel and other ferrous metals are magnetic. If they are small enough and the magnet is large enough, they can be lifted out with a magnet. Larger ferrous pieces are identified by noting that a magnet will stick to these pieces. All ferrous metals will be accepted as 1 type of item by scrap recycling companies. 4. Find non-magnetic, stainless steel.
