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.
