plesase can you help me find 10 facts about recycling metals!

Answer 1

Gold is recycled from old electronics.

The price of copper is so high right now that people have been steeling to sell as scrap.

It takes a lot less energy to recycle metal than to make more metal from ore.

Steel can be easily separated out from trash and other metals with a big magnet.

Answer 2

METAL

*Every year we save enough energy recycling steel to supply L.A. with nearly a decade’s worth of electricity.

*We save enough energy by recycling one aluminum can to run a TV set for three hours.

*Recycling aluminum saves 95% of the energy used to make the material from scratch. That means you can make 20 cans out of recycled material with the same amount of energy it takes to make one can out of new material. Energy savings in 1993 alone were enough to light a city the size of Pittsburgh for six years. .

*Americans throw away enough aluminum every month to rebuild our entire commercial air fleet.

*Recycling steel and tin cans saves 74% of the energy used to produce them.

* Americans use 100 million tin and steel cans every day.

*Americans throw out enough iron and steel to supply all the nation’s automakers on a continuous basis.

*A steel mill using recycled scrap reduces related water pollution, air pollution and mining wastes by about 70%.

** When you toss out one aluminum can you waste as much energy as if you’d filled the same can half-full of gasoline and poured it into the ground.

Answer 3

There are several metal recycling centers in the Baltimore area.  I know that scrap metal will usually pay .20/lb, aluminum cans are anywhere from .45 to .55/lb, depending on the quantity.  Every time I pass a can on the street, I think, "that's cash, right there".  I do collect and recycle cans with my fiance.  We call it our "can hunting date", it's fun, it helps the environment, and we get a few extra dollars for something fun.
