How to Tell if Your Scrap is Ferrous or Non-Ferrous (And Why It Matters)

Grab a magnet. That’s all you need! Ferrous Metals (Magnetic) Steel Cast Iron Cheaper but still valuable in bulk. Heavy items, usually rust-prone. Non-Ferrous Metals (Non-Magnetic) Copper Brass Aluminium Lead Worth more, lighter in weight, and resistant to corrosion. Sort before you sell to KDS and you’ll earn more.
