Short answer: Keep stainless offcuts, swarf and grindings in clean, separate, labelled containers by series if you can, avoid mixing with mild steel or aluminium, keep swarf free of oil, weigh each type and compare offers from more than one buyer, because clean sorted stainless from a workshop is one of the most reliable and valuable scrap streams a small business can produce.
