These days, our economy is hugely reliant on the recycling of metals and all other types of materials. There are a variety of benefits associated with metal recycling, three of which will be discussed in detail:

JOB CREATION

The simple fact of the matter is that the metal recycling industry comprises a fairly large percentage of overall American industry. 

By recycling on a consistent basis, we help these individuals keep their jobs, ensuring that a meaningful portion of the American workforce doesn’t have the rug pulled out from under them.

At the present time, the metal recycling industry is growing. If we maintain our recycling efforts, it should continue to grow in the future.

Through recycling, we are able to use metals over and over again, essentially creating an endless supply. This makes these metals more available, and therefore, cheaper.

In contrast, if metals are not recycled, fresh metals will have to be mined from the earth on a consistent basis. Because metal mines are not endless, the metals that are mined from them will become scarcer and more expensive each time they’re mined. The more expensive the metal that is used to make a product, the more expensive the product will be to purchase. It’s simple economics.

CASH FLOW INTO THE HANDS OF THE WORKING-CLASS

Because so many jobs are created by the metal recycling industry, the industry supplies a meaningful amount of money into the national economy. In 2016, recycling workers were paid a total of $36.6 billion dollars. This is money that goes directly back into the local economy, helping to keep it strong.
