These items include, but are not limited to:
Closed Containers – Closed containers can include but are not limited to oxygen tanks, fire extinguishers, crimped closed tubing, Freon tanks, aerosol cans, beer kegs, and baseball bats. Closed containers can develop extreme pressure when submerged in molten metal. Once the pressure reaches the burst limit of the vessel it can spray molten metal or present additional explosion potentials.
Hazardous Chemicals – Hazardous chemicals such as PCB’s, pesticides, asbestos, etc. or loads that are labeled to include these materials will not be accepted.
Radioactive Materials or Materials displaying Radioactive Warning Labels – Materials that fail to pass the gate radiation detector inspection process and any materials with a radioactive warning label will be rejected and returned following regulatory guidelines.
Medical Waste – Needles, surgical gloves, medical waste, etc will not be accepted. Logan Aluminum is not set up to process/deal with this type of material.
Explosives Ammunition/Rocket Tubes/Detonators – Explosion potential for both shredding and melting operations. The assumption is, if there is one in the load there may be additional ones that are not visible and there is no guarantee that there are no live rounds.
