Steel is sent to a local metal recycler.
It’s then baled and shipped to a larger metal collection depot.
From here it is shredded and exported.
The shredded product is then melted down in a big furnace.
It’s then rolled out into large sheets ready to be used again.
Rolls are bought by can makers to be made into cans for food, paint and aerosols.
