The benefits of recycling metals are numerous, recycling
metal and reusing materials such as metal, saves energy, conserves natural
resources, prevents pollution and reduces the volume of metal that is discarded
into our landfills. All which have long term benefits for our society. Proper
metal recycling prevents pollution and keeps people healthier and is good for
the economy.
In 2008, the scrap recycling industry generated $86 billion
and supported 85,000 jobs. The recycled
metal industry that processes used metal back into raw material feedstock every
year and is used around the world. Also
in 2008, the United States exported $28.6 billion, roughly 44 million metric
tons of recycled metal, which contributed to U.S. trade balances.
Our junk removal team takes great pride in the recycling
efforts that we provide. Not only will
our metal recycle efforts help the landfills in Las Vegas but it also provides
a way to reuse recycled metals. As we
collect junk and trash from commercial and residential jobs we spend time at
the shop separating everything that can be donated or recycled. Recyling metal is a big part of what we do
after each junk and trash removal job.
We then store metal recycle materials in the shop until we have a
trailer full to take to the local metal recycle facility. Our junk removal team is able to recycle
metal every 2 to 3 weeks. We average approximately
2,000 pounds of recycle metal each time we go, which equals up to 35,000 pounds
of metal to recycle each year!
