Recycling can prevent the waste of useful materials and reduce the consumption of raw materials. We accept a variety of metals for recycling, such as brass, copper, stainless steel and more. Some metals are 100% recyclable such as stainless steel & copper. Recycled metals can be split into two types, non-ferrous scrap metal and ferrous scrap metal.
An overview of some of the more commonly recycled metals is detailed below. For a more complete listing of recyclables, click HERE.
NON-FERROUS RECYCLED METAL
Non-ferrous scrap is comprised of base metals–such as brass and copper–that are non-attractive with a magnet. Suncoast Metals, LLC purchases, processes, and distributes a wide range of non-ferrous scrap metal. We provide non-ferrous handling to the general public, pulverization organizations, and private manufacturers. Our ultimate goal is to provide our customers with an efficient and hassle-free recycling option, while doing our part to help the environment.

BRASS
We accept a wide variety of brass materials. Today almost 90% of all brass alloys are recycled. Because brass is not ferromagnetic, it can be separated from ferrous scrap by passing the scrap near a powerful magnet. Aluminum makes brass stronger and more corrosion resistant. To enhance the machinability of brass, lead is often added in concentrations of around 2%.
COPPER
We accept different types of copper materials, including insulated copper wire. Copper is 100% recyclable without any loss of quality whether in a raw state or contained in a manufactured product. Copper is the best-recycled metal, after iron and aluminum.
LOW GRADE
We accept a variety of low grade non-ferrous scrap including Alternators, Starters, Electric Motors & Sealed Units to name a few
FERROUS RECYCLED METAL
Ferrous metals are attracted by a magnet. Suncoast Metals, LLC purchases, processes and distributes a range of ferrous piece metal. The most common types of ferrous scrap metal are stainless steel and iron.
STAINLESS STEEL
We accept a variety of stainless steel materials. Stainless steel is 100% recyclable. An average stainless steel object is composed of about 60% recycled material of which approximately 40% originates from end-of-life products and about 60% comes from manufacturing processes. The recycled product is mostly coil, sheet and blanks.
STEEL
We accept various types of steel. It is a ferrous metal used in a variety of capacities, and is one of the most commonly recyclable materials. Steel (and iron) constitute over 90% of all metal production and a similar fraction of the scrap metals market.
ALUMINIUM
We accept a wide variety of aluminum materials. Aluminum is the most widely used non-ferrous metal. Aluminum is 100% recyclable without any loss of its natural qualities. Recycled aluminum is known as secondary aluminum, but maintains the same physical properties as primary aluminum.
