If you have rusted farm tools or a tractor that’s no longer working, you can turn your unwanted items into cash. Metalico Rochester—the local leader in scrap metal recycling in Rochester, NY—will always provide a competitive and fair price for your unwanted metal. Here are just a few examples of farm equipment with metal parts that you can sell:

• Mowers
• Rakes
• Shovels
• Tractors
• Balers
• Winnowers

Whether you have a plow that’s rusted beyond use or a non-functioning baler that’s taking up space on your property, every piece you sell to Metalico Rochester is recycled with sensitivity to the environment and to prevent accumulation in landfills. What are some other benefits to scrap metal recycling?

• Environmental benefits. Creating new metal from mined ore produces greenhouse gas emissions. This results in air pollution, which in turn can lead to respiratory problems for you and those around you. Using recycled metal significantly reduces these emissions, making the environment cleaner and safer.
• Ore conservation. There is a limited amount of ore on the planet, and recycling helps to conserve those resources.
• Energy conservation. Drilling for ore and processing it into usable metal uses notably more energy than recycling. According to the EPA, recycled aluminum will use only 5% of the energy it takes to extract new aluminum.
• Economic benefits. Metal recycling creates jobs: Sorters, process engineers, and chemists are just a few of the people needed to recycle scrap metal, as well as dispatchers and truck drivers for scrap metal pickup.
