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.
Some examples of non-ferrous metals are copper, zinc, nickel, brass, aluminum, and lead. They have very different properties from one another and are used for a variety of applications. What all non-ferrous metals have in common is they are not magnetic because they do not contain iron.
