Each year, people in the United States recycle over 150 million metric tons of scrap metal. We see a large amount of this metal at H&C Metals, Inc. and encourage our consumers to actively recycle metal scrap when they can. Not only will this aid the environment, it will also help to put money in your pocket, since the price of scrap metal is higher than ever before.

Some reasons that you should consider recycling your scrap metal are highlighted here.

Help the US Trade System

The recycling industry, including our team, helps to generate 85,000 jobs and over $86 billion in revenue in the Nation each year. The products that are recycled are exported each year, which can help grow the US trade business further. When you recycle, you are supporting this source of income for the US and supporting jobs in America.

Recycling Metal will save Energy

When you use our services at H&C Metals, Inc., you will be helping reduce the total greenhouse gas emissions and use less energy than creating the metal from virgin ore. The total amount of energy that can be saved by using recycled metals instead of virgin ore is as follows:

  • A 56 percent of energy savings for steel
