Cast Iron Recycling is a Paying Way to Make Something New

Cast iron , from its popularity throughout history to its more modern uses, has been an important part of many lives across St. Louis, around the country, and throughout the world. It has been used for more than 2,000 years, and has many different varieties, which are used for different purposes. Cast iron has even left its own footprint throughout St. Louis in its usage on storefronts. But buildings, storefronts, and other structures aren’t the only places you’ll find cast iron. Just take a look around, and you’ll notice the versatile metal in everything from pianos to staircases.

That memorial to one of America’s finest philanthropists? Those words could be written on cast iron. The remnants of the fence that surrounded a farm? Yes, that might be cast iron, too. How about the engine cylinders of some of the first steam engines? Those were often made from cast iron. It’s great to preserve history, and architectural salvage, for example, has allowed everyone from bargain-hunting individuals to large companies to do just that: take items that were once used for some reason, in some setting, and modify them as needed, while preserving the items’ historical significance and aesthetically pleasing qualities.

But sometimes, certain cast iron items are not usable in your setting, or they’re too mangled and damaged to be used in  any setting. That valuable cast iron, the material within the object, can be made anew, in a modern item that can be used, valued, and appreciated by another happy consumer. Scrap Mart Metals offers a great way to achieve those goals, through our innovative cast iron recycling. Part of an old building can become a frying pan. Material from a bridge no longer in use can be part of someone’s new house, built with recycled materials. Whatever its destiny, your cast iron can find new life at Scrap Mart Metals — and you can get paid!
