Ann Arbor Scrap Metal Recycling and Junk Car Recycling Services
Scrap metal recycling is a process of recycling used metals. Not only does recycling metals help the environment by reducing greenhouse gases, it can be a great opportunity for individuals with an entrepreneurial spirit. A metal scrapping business can be a profitable business that doesn’t require a lot of capital or special equipment to get started. Our Ann Arbor metal yard is staffed with technicians who are able to assist and direct you through the purchasing process.
Automotive recycling is the 16th largest industry in the United States. The average vehicle reaches the end of its life at around 12 years. Cars don’t last forever, so if you have a car that is too old to sell to a private buyer, than why not let GLR buy your junk car and recycle it. Not only will you get cash on the spot for your junk car, you’ll also be helping the environment.
The global metal recycling market is divided into two categories: ferrous metal and non-ferrous metal. Ferrous metals contain iron, while non-ferrous does not. Alloy steel, carbon steel, cast iron, and wrought iron are some of the more common ferrous metals. Because they are fired with a great deal of carbon, there are more likely to rust. Non-ferrous metals included brass, aluminum, copper, tin, nickel, lead, zinc, gold, and silver. They are generally very light and because they have no magnetic charge, they are also used in electrical wiring and electronics.
Almost 80 percent of a junk car can be recycled. From the battery to the oil filter to the tires to the door handles, you can rest easy knowing that when GLR buys your junk car that every part of your car will be reused or recycled.
American Metals Recycling of Ann Arbor is now GLR Advanced Recycling. Our Ann Arbor Scrap Metal Yard and Auto Salvage location accepts all types of metals including junk cars. We are committed to providing high quality service to consumers and commercial customers in Washtenaw County.
