Recycling Ferrous Metals

Ferrous metals are those that contain iron and are highly recyclable. They include steel and iron, which are commonly found in construction materials, vehicles, and household appliances. Recycling ferrous metals is crucial for conserving natural resources and reducing energy consumption.
