Ferrous metals contain iron and are generally magnetic. The word "ferrous" comes from the Latin word "Ferrum," which means "containing iron." Ferrous metals may be pure iron, or they may be alloys of iron. Because quality stainless steel does not stick to a magnet, it is often classified as a nonferrous metal. However, stainless steel does contain iron and is technically a ferrous metal.
Nonferrous metals do not contain iron and are generally non-magnetic. Some examples are aluminum, brass, copper, and lead.
We chose to operate our shops in town for our customers' convenience. As a result, residential areas are in close proximity to our shops. Because iron and steel are usually purchased by the ton, they have to be stored and handled outside. We generally try to keep all of our metals inside to keep our shops aesthetically pleasing to our neighbors. For your convenience, our shops accept (not purchase) appliances and small amounts of ferrous metals.

Yellow brass is generally composed of 65% copper and 35% zinc. Brass is often used in plumbing parts such as faucets and has a yellow hue when it is filed on.
Red brass generally is composed of 85% copper and 15% zinc. It also has many plumbing applications and has a reddish hue when it is filed on. Any red brass that has a chrome coating is paid according to yellow brass pricing.
