Kanect Recycling specializes in automotive scrap, cores, and non-ferrous metals. However, we do accept all scrap metal items for very competitive prices.
We accept and recycle all Ferrous and Non Ferrous Metals including, but not limited to, iron and sheet metal, aluminum, copper, brass, stainless, and wiring.
Ferrous metals include steel and pig iron (with a carbon content of a few percent) and alloys of iron with other metals (such as stainless steel).
"Non-ferrous" is used to describe metals and alloys that do not contain an appreciable amount of iron. The term "ferrous" is usually applied only to metals and alloys.
Although almost every kind of metal can be recycled again and again, without degradation of properties, approximately 30 percent of metal is currently being recycled. Help us increase that percentage and get paid at the same time!
Common Examples:
Farm machinery/Heavy Machinery
Industry/Tow motors
Appliances

Gutters
Ac Motors
