Answer #1

Hi,

Scrap metal processing workers sort and prepare metals for recycling. For example, some scrap metal processing workers work in plants where aluminum cans are sorted, crushed by machinery, and baled into bundles, then shipped to smelters who melt and purify the metal for reuse. Other scrap metal processing workers work in plants where copper is reclaimed from used circuit boards, or where household appliances are cut up and shredded to reclaim the steel.

Like other handlers, recycling workers usually start by earning the minimum wage. With experience, a typical recycling worker can earn up to $12.38 per hour or more. Benefits vary according to employers. Workers employed by city, county, or state governments may belong to a union and will earn comprehensive benefits packages.

Good luck.

Answer #2

actually scrap metal is a very lucrative business, although scrap metal prices are really not that high now as they were. But it is still possible to earn some nice cash on scrap metal. Although, there aren’t enough information about this topic (identifying scrap metal, selling profitably, searching for it etc.) I came across a nice link the other day, I can share it if anybody is interested.. www.metal-scrap.net hope that helps
