Where does stainless steel scrap typically come from?
Short answer: Common sources are kitchen sinks and benchtops, commercial kitchen equipment, brewery and food-processing tanks, cutlery and cookware, fittings, fasteners and balustrades, exhaust systems and workshop offcuts and plate, and because many of these are bulky it often arrives mixed with other materials, so knowing the sources tells you where to look and what to separate.
