The modernization of industrial enterprises, the growth in the number of production sites are inevitably accompanied by the elimination of old lines and the formation of metal waste. Large volumes of iron scrap are formed in mechanical engineering, metallurgy, instrument making, at construction sites, during the disposal of railway facilities, and the dismantling of building and structure structures.

To prevent littering of territories with metal waste, metal collection points are operating. They fight pollution and promote the rational use of natural resources.
