Do you have any scrap steel lying around your home or business? Before you toss it or let it pile up, here’s something to think about:

Recycling just one tonne of steel saves:
• 2,500 lbs of iron ore
• 1,400 lbs of coal, and
• 120 lbs of limestone

That’s thousands of pounds of raw resources saved. Less waste. Lower emissions. More efficient use of resources.

And all of that starts with you—and the scrap metal sitting in your bin right now. It’s one of the easiest ways to lower your environmental footprint.

Make your scrap count. Talk to us if you need help recycling your scrap metals!

12 million tons.

That’s how much metal we lost globally in 2022 due to improper electronic waste recycling. These aren’t just scraps—they are critical materials used in everything from solar panels to smartphones.
Every phone tossed in a drawer or laptop dumped in a landfill adds up quickly.

Recycling e-waste properly can recover these vital metals and reduce the need for destructive mining. Industries globally need these to continue running efficiently!

We don’t just need more awareness—we need better systems, smarter habits, and a shift toward circular thinking.

Remember to recycle your electronics properly whenever possible!
