How to Recycle Metal Art

Metal is one of the easiest materials to recycle, and the metal recycling process is one of the most beneficial to the environment. Metal artwork is likely to be made from scrap metal or a mixture of metals. Depending on your location, you may have opportunities to both recycle your metal artwork and sell your metal for recycling. Either way, recycling metal will reduce greenhouse gas emissions, decrease environmental damage and begin a recycling process that can be repeated hundreds of times.

Instructions

• 1

  Locate scrap metal dealers close to you. Use the Scrap Spot "USA Scrap Metal Dealers Directory."

• 2

  Call to make sure the dealer recycles the type of metal you have. Your metal artwork may be made of aluminum, brass, bronze, copper, nickel, silver, tin, titanium or other metals. Some dealers will recycle all types of metal.

• 3

  Deliver your metal artwork to the dealer. Sell, trade or donate your metal artwork to the dealer, depending on their rules and regulations.
