    Ferrous Metals - Ferrous metals contain iron and include materials like stainless steel. Known for their strength and durability, they possess magnetic properties and are commonly used in building construction, railway construction, tools, fences, and gates.

    Non-Ferrous Metals - Non-ferrous metals do not contain iron and are generally lighter and more malleable than ferrous metals. These metals can be found in various applications, from copper piping to aluminum cans automobile parts. Additionally, non-ferrous metals are typically more valuable when sold to recycling companies.
