    New to metal recycling

    Hi there I'm new to metal recycling and would like any tips you could give me. If you feel its something a newbee should know please feel free to share your knowledge with me. I am trying to figure out the differences between metals. Forgive me for my stupidity I am probably the least knowledgeable person on this forum.

    spend a BUNCH of time reading reading and more reading in the thread here...there is a WEALTH of education for free. There are some very smart people on here that both scrap and even people that run yards.

    Take the URl above and read. You will thank yourself and then in a shirt amount of time be very educated on the subject.

    Once you do that, jump right in and ask a question AFTER searching the threads for previous similar questions. People WILL help you here, but only after you put some work in.

    Welcome to SMF from the Dakota's. You have found the right place, but be careful the forum and scrapping are addictive.
    Give back more to this world than we take.
