Non-Ferrous Metal Recycling Near Burbank

While TM Scrap Metals can be literally anywhere in Southern California and the greater Los Angeles area thanks to our mobile recycling service, many people—especially those in Burbank, Glendale and surrounding areas—opt to bring their metals to us. We’re close. We’re convenient. We pay cash for scrap.

What’s the best scrap metal to recycle with us? It’s the non-ferrous metals that are the best paying and in the highest demand. As we’ve stated before in earlier Burbank recycling center posts non-ferrous metals (things like aluminum, nickel, lead, tin, brass, silver, or zinc) are those metals that do not contain any (or much) iron. One way to determine the type of metal (ferrous or non-ferrous) is by using a magnet. A magnet will attach itself to ferrous metals like iron but not to non-ferrous metals like copper or brass.

While you may only be interested in how much a particular metal pays per pound or ton, you may be interested to know why these types of metals are in demand. Many non-ferrous metals share characteristics such as tensile strength and corrosion resistance.  Properties like these mean these metals are useful for many purposes. Recycling these metals means, of course, that they don’t have to be created from scratch—a costly and time-consuming process. Manufacturers would much rather melt down preexisting metals to utilize in their needs and recycling centers like TM Scrap Metals provide the scrap those companies need. You, as the recycler (or scrapper) play a key role in providing those materials (non-ferrous metals) in the first step of the recycling process.

In Burbank and the surrounding area, scrappers like you need a recycling center to deal with and once again that’s us. Have you got non-ferrous metals you need to get rid of while making cash in the bargain? Call us at TM Scrap Metals or just drop your metals off at our Sun Valley location. Cash for scrap. It’s a beautiful concept!

Sell aluminum cans for cash? If you’re in the Sun Valley area of Los Angeles (located in the eastern portion of the San Fernando Valley) the location you seek is TM Scrap Metals on Tuxford St. If you’re looking for convenience to Burbank, North Hollywood, Pacoima, Van Nuys, Panorama City or even Sylmar, it couldn’t be easier. Our location is right off Interstate 5.

Aluminum is one of the most favored metals to recycle for cash and for good reason. Its use in the beverage industry is so widespread and commonplace that we often don’t give it a second thought. We see and use aluminum cans so often we forget about them. But their very abundance is what makes them a great metal to recycle.

The only downside, if there is one, is that aluminum is such a light metal it takes a fairly large amount to recycle for significant cash. That’s not the case with scrap brass or copper which are both heavier, denser metals and a smaller amount will return a higher payout when you bring them to the scrap metal recycling center.

Still, aluminum cans, as we said, are ubiquitous and it’s easier to find a bunch of discarded soft drink cans on the roadside, in a park or on a beach and pick them up with the intent to recycle. If you go through enough of them yourself on a daily or monthly basis, keeping your old cans until you have enough can be a great idea. Aluminum cans are so easy to crush flat that stacking or stockpiling a good amount is not going to take up much space. It makes sense, too, to collect enough to make the payout at the scrap metal dealer worthwhile.

Of course, when we talk about scrap for cash we know that there’s a monetary incentive to bring you aluminum cans in for recycling but there’s also an altruistic purpose and that’s to reduce the amount of trash in our communities. Recycling aluminum cans for money does just that. It’s something you can feel good about doing because you know those cans will find new life as…new cans (or anything else made from aluminum)! You also get to walk away with some cash in your pocket. Our cities are made cleaner and we reduce the amount of waste that goes into our landfills.

Aluminum cans aren’t the only things we recycle and you may have tons of scrap aluminum you need to get rid of. If it’s bulky and you can’t easily deliver it to our scrap yard, remember that we do have a mobile recycling service and can come to you for bulky item pickup. We’ll take the scrap metal off your hands and pay you for it. Another win-win situation. Actually it’s win-win-win, because you make cash for your scrap metal, we get the scrap we need and the environment benefits.

Scrap metal buyers, TM Scrap Metals in Los Angeles, provides more than just cash for scrap metal. Each pound of metal we recycle is one pound that does not go into a landfill.

If you check out with the Environmental Protection Agency website and their statistics on landfill use in United States you’ll see that they refer to what we might call trash as “municipal solid waste” or MSW. According to their statistics the amount of MSW generated is equal to about 5 pounds for every person in the United States. In 2018 that all added up to 292 million tons of waste. All that waste, unless it is recycled, has to go somewhere and that usually ends up in one of the many landfill areas in our country.

As the population of the United States grows so does the output of MSW and as the EPA shows on their website, has increased from about 200 million tons in 1990 to almost 300 million tons as of 2018. A significant portion of MSW was recycled, about 69 million tons.  Paper and paper products were the most highly-recycled substances at about 67% and metals made up about 13%. 13% of 69 million tons is nothing to sneeze at and we are proud  at TM Scrap Metals that we could contribute to this percentage of recycled materials.

We like to say it’s a win-win situation for us as well as our customers, and of course the environment. Our customers who bring scrap metal such as copper, brass, aluminum or wire to be recycled  are paid for these scrap metals so there is some financial benefit. As a scrap metal dealer in Los Angeles of course we make our own profit on the exchange. And finally, metals that can be recycled (and we are talking about tons of metals) do not take up space in our nations landfills.   The longer we can delay having to use new land for MSW disposal is a benefit to everybody in our community.

We encourage everyone in the greater Los Angeles area to make use of our Burbank recycling center and bring your scrap metals to us. Once again we remind you that we also offer mobile recycling so if you can come to us, we can certainly come to you, pick up your access scrap metals and bring them back to our metal recycling yard in Sun Valley. We’ll continue to recycle and you do your part by bringing your scrap metals to us.

Los Angeles recycling center TM Scrap Metals can assist businesses by helping to save money on production costs. Sun Valley, California, where TM Scrap Metals is located (on the border of Burbank), is home to several manufacturing companies. These range from medical device manufacturers to aerospace. In each case these companies need and use metal in their production.

Of course in any production facility not every bit of metal will be used in the production process. Also there will be some amount of waste. All this wasted metal or excess scrap, if it were thrown away, would be an extra cost for these companies. They pay for certain amount of the metal that they need to facilitate production and any waste metal (aka scrap metal) that gets tossed in the garbage is simply a waste of money.

Companies like these which are involved in production can save money by recycling the leftover metals. Some companies have this ability in-house while others do not and need to find a local recycling center such as TM Scrap Metals. When a company brings excess metal scrap to TM Scrap Metals, first and foremost they are remunerated for those metals. That means they’re not throwing that money away. The money gained from the recycling these excess metals helps to keep production costs down.

This is a win-win situation for the company as well as consumers. A company which is manufacturing these products saves money through recycling and because of that does not have to charge extra to cover wasted material. They do not have to pass that extra cost along to other businesses or consumers who buy their products. We talked about altruistic reasons for recycling scrap metals here in Los Angeles but there are purely monetary reasons to do so.

Those manufacturing firms that are located near us in Sun Valley, California can easily bring their scrap metal to our recycling facility but others who are located further away, throughout the San Fernando Valley or a greater Los Angeles can benefit from TM Scrap Metals’ mobile recycling service. It may not be convenient or easy to transport large amounts of scrap metal so it makes sense to use a company like ours which can come to you, remove your scrap metal, take it back to our recycling yard and begin the recycling process.

If you’re looking for a way to save on production costs, call TM scrap metals today. 818-771-0510,
