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.
Begin separating out scrap metal that is magnetic (ferrous) and put it into one pile and non-magnetic metals (non-ferrous) into another pile. 1  Magnetic metals include iron, steel and other ferrous metals.  Non-magnetic items will contain all of your non-ferrous metals like aluminum, copper and brass.
