Abstract
South Carolina’s metal recycling industry is strong, with the second highest number of steel mills in the Southeast. The state’s three mills include two at the Nucor Corporation, located in Darlington & Berkeley Counties and one at CMC Steel in Lexington County. More than 11 million tons of iron and scrap steel are produced each year and 70% of this is recycled. South Carolina local governments reported earnings of more than $2.6 million from the sale of metal in 2014.
