What is Lead Scrap?
Lead is a dense, soft, and malleable metal commonly used for its durability, corrosion resistance, and waterproofing properties.

It is commonly found in: - Roofing sheets, flashing, and lead bays
- Pipes and plumbing systems (especially older properties)
- Batteries (processed separately as battery lead)
- Cable sheathing and radiation shielding
- Construction and demolition waste
