Metals - Mixed

Metal and mixed metal are two different types of waste that require different handling and disposal methods.

Mixed metal waste can be generated from various sources, such as manufacturing, construction, and demolition activities. Because mixed metal waste contains a variety of materials, it is more challenging to recycle than pure metal waste.

Mixed metal waste must be sorted and separated into its individual components before it can be recycled. This can be a complex and costly process that requires specialized equipment and expertise. In some cases, mixed metal waste may not be able to be recycled at all and must be disposed of in a landfill that accepts mixed waste.
