What are different Nonferrous Scrap Terminology ?

Let's learn commonly used Non-Ferrous Scrap Terminologies

When I first started in scrap business, I would find it difficult when veterans in this industry would use certain terminologies. I am still learning nuances of this vast industry every single day. I felt it would be useful if I could share some of the commonly and often used non ferrous scrap terminologies in this blog post. Feel free to add in comments if I missed any. I would love to hear your feedback below. Stay tuned in as I will capture the journey of scrap business in these blog posts with the sole purpose of bringing as much value as possible to the readers about the scrap industry and share knowledge from my daily experiences. If you have any questions, suggestions, something you would like me to cover, let me know in the comments. Thanks.
