Metal Recylcing

In the United States, we recycle 150 million metric tons of metal scrap each year. The scrap metal industry is good for the economy by creating jobs and exports. Recycling scrap metal is also good for the environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and manufacturing energy usage. The amount of energy saved by using recycled metal versus virgin ore is 92% for aluminum, 90% for copper and 56% for steel as an example.

Tesoro Metals Recycling offers full-service metal recycling for ferrous, non-ferrous, and miscellaneous metals.

Ferrous metals are mostly made up of steel and iron. Ferrous metal can be found in old vehicles, household appliances, yard and farming equipment, and steel previously used for structural purposes.

Non-ferrous metals include those that do not contain iron or steel. These include nickel, copper, aluminum and many others.

Miscellaneous metals can be found anywhere from batteries to old dvd players, bicycles, cell phone parts, auto parts, windows, doors, appliances.

Metals We Buy

Selling your scrap metals can be lucrative. At Tesoro Metals, we buy a variety of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The price we offer in exchange for your metals depends on the type of metal you’re selling, and whether it is in its purist form or if it has other alloys contaminating it. Non-ferrous metals such as alloys, aluminum, Brass, stainless steel, carbide, and copper, are the metals we buy at competitive prices.

The purist form of copper is the most sought after metal and has the highest value. Insulated copper wire is a popular item because it of its widespread use. There are two types of wire, high-grade copper wire and low-grade copper wire. High-grade copper wire has a single layer of insulation and is found in machine wire and appliances. Low-grade copper wire is found in extension cords and cables. The wider the diameter of copper, the higher the price you will get when you sell it. The copper pipe on water heaters, tubing and plumbing fittings are the most common household items where copper is found.

The other non-ferrous metals are just as sought after but their value is not as high as copper. Aluminum is not just found in your typical soda can. It is also found in gutters, siding, hubcaps, and doors. They are classified as heavy or light grade. Stainless steel is classified as heavy and can be found in the trim on cars, handrails, and hubcaps. It is valued slightly less per pound than aluminum but it still has great value. Brass is often used in combination with other metals such as copper and zinc. It is often found in household items such as bathroom fixtures, hardware and decorative home fixtures, such as door fittings, vents, fireplace screens and other accessories. Carbide metal is considered a hard metal that is mixed with cobalt and then compressed together and shaped into a specified form. It is often called Tungsten Carbide. Other non-ferrous metals that are harder to find in large quantities include magnesium, nickel, tin, lead, titanium and zinc.

Metals found in boats, batteries, ironing boards, basketball rims, discarded metal signs, and filing cabinets are all scrap metals you can sell. If you have any questions about the kind of scrap metal we buy, and the price per pound we buy them for, contact us at (956)630-2487, or visit our McAllen or Weslaco locations.
