Metal Recycling
At Inner City Metals, we pay you top dollar for your scrap metal, providing a powerful incentive to recycle.
Take steel, for instance—we can recycle it endlessly without compromising its integrity or quality. By recycling metals, we actively contribute to resource preservation, energy conservation, and greenhouse gas reduction. For every tonne of recycled steel, we save a whopping 633kg of coal, 54kg of limestone, and 1131kg of iron ore. It's a win-win scenario for both your wallet and the environment.
Unlocking Environmental Benefits
Products made from recycled metals offer significant environmental advantages, requiring less energy, water, and resulting in lower CO2 emissions compared to those manufactured from raw materials. The impact is substantial, with every tonne of recycled metal translating to: Greenhouse gas saving equivalent to driving a passenger vehicle for 8000 KM’s. Preservation of water equal to 55 bath tubs Conservation of energy equivalent to powering 11 houses for one month. Reduction of solid waste comparable to 37 wheelie bins.At Inner City Metals, we’re proud to contribute to these vital sustainability efforts. By easing landfill burdens, cutting production costs, and fostering a circular economy, we’re paving the way for a greener, more sustainable future.
