What scrap do industrial and resources sites typically produce?
Short answer: Large sites commonly produce structural steel offcuts and plate, pipe and fittings, cable and cable tray, drums and containers, replaced plant and equipment, conveyor and chute steel, mesh and fencing, and mixed construction waste, so the quantity is high, the mix is varied and the contamination risk is real, which is why planning the streams before the scrap is produced matters more than sorting it afterwards.
