You most likely have thousands of household items that can be recycled for their metal parts that you would never even consider.  For example, blenders, laptops, cameras, speakers, fax machines, refrigerators, stoves, ovens, appliances, silverware, camcorders, navigation systems, brass instruments, remote controls, auto parts, routers, hubs, circuit boards, hubs, cell phones, and more.  Some of those listed items are never thought of as \u201crecyclable\u201d by the average person.  <\/p>\n<p>Once you are familiar with the kinds of metals that can be recycled, research the current market values for nonferrous and ferrous metals.  An easy way to remember the difference between ferrous metals and nonferrous metals is this: nonferrous metals (i.e. aluminum, copper, gold, chromium, nickel, lead, etc.) are NON-magnetic; while ferrous metals (i.e. iron, steel, cast iron, etc.) retain magnetic qualities.
