From Clutter to Cash: Recycle Your Scrap Metal This Winter

When the temperature drops and you’re spending more time indoors, it’s the perfect opportunity to tackle those long-overdue decluttering projects. As you clean out your garage, basement, and shed, you’re likely to find a trove of scrap metal that can be turned into cold, hard cash.
At Inland Steel Products, we make winter metal recycling easy and rewarding. With 6 state-of-the-art recycling facilities across the Prairies, we’re equipped to handle all your scrap metal needs year-round in heated indoor facilities. Here’s how to make the most of your winter cleanup and earn top dollar for your scrap metal.
Focus on These High-Value Household Items
Many common items around your home contain valuable metals like steel, aluminum, and copper. As you declutter, keep an eye out for:
- Old appliances: Stoves, washers, and dryers
- Aluminum doors and window frames from past renovations
- Copper piping and wiring from plumbing and electrical projects
- Scrap metal from old outdoor furniture, fencing, and decor
- Brass fixtures, hinges, and doorknobs
- Lead-acid batteries from cars and trucks
- Old steel shelving, cabinets, and tools
These everyday items can really add up in value, putting extra cash in your pocket while freeing up valuable storage space.
Sort Your Scrap for Maximum Value
To get the best price for your scrap metal, it pays to sort it by type. The most common categories are ferrous metals, which contain iron and are magnetic (like steel), and non-ferrous metals which aren’t magnetic (like aluminum and copper).
Separating your metals ensures you get paid top dollar for each type, rather than the lowest common denominator price for a mixed load. Inland Steel Products makes sorting simple with clear guidelines on what we accept.
It also helps to remove any non-metal attachments like plastic, rubber, or wood. The cleaner your scrap, the more it’s worth!
