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.
