What is a scrap inspector?

Scrap Inspectors are professionals responsible for examining and evaluating scrap materials to determine their quality, type, and potential for recycling or reuse. They inspect incoming and outgoing scrap to ensure it meets industry and company standards, separating valuable materials from waste. Their role helps maximize resource recovery, reduce environmental impact, and ensure compliance with regulations. Scrap Inspectors often work in recycling centers, manufacturing plants, or scrapyards, and may use specialized tools and safety equipment during inspections.
