Iron or Steel Scrap Dealer & Drivers

Note:

Includes demolition operations except demolition of buildings, bridges, steel structures, or vessels.

Shall not be assigned to a risk engaged in operations described by another classification unless the operations subject to Code 8265 are conducted as a separate and distinct business.

Description

Code 8265 applies to the operation of collecting, buying, and reselling ferrous scrap metal for sale to others where at least 80% of the total weight is comprised of iron or steel scrap.  Scrap iron or steel handled includes any metal alloy primarily composed of iron as well as the varieties of steel, carbon steel or alloys of steel including stainless steel.

Dealers usually buy graded scrap iron or steel from junk dealers and independent concerns engaged in wrecking steel structures.  Operations may involve torch cutting for reduction purposes, not for the salvage of parts.  The reduced scrap may then be compressed and baled in presses for shipment to blast furnace operations and steel mills for recovery.  This classification also applies to operations involving the handling of new and used iron or steel.

Also, included under this classification are metal shredding plants and specialists who travel from yard to yard compressing and baling scrap metal or purchase scrap for resale to independent shredding plants.
