Steel Slag Recycling Service
Steelmaking slag recycling for mills, foundries, and fabricators. We evaluate BOF, EAF, and ladle slag (fresh or aged), plan metal recovery where viable, and match graded material to compliant outlets (aggregate/road base, asphalt blends, engineered fill). Send specs, photos, tonnage, and target uses—we’ll confirm outlets, pricing, and bulk trucking or rail options (B2B only).
Solutions for Steel Slag Recycling
Whether you manage ongoing slag generation or legacy stockpiles, we design a practical plan: characterize the material, set outlet requirements, coordinate metal recovery and crushing/screening, and move consistent grades to qualified users. We handle end-dump/walking-floor or rail, plus documentation and diversion reporting.
What We Accept
Types: BOF/basic oxygen, EAF, ladle slag (fresh or aged)
Forms: coarse lump, fines, screened grades, pit reclaim, legacy piles
Specs that help: chemistry/aging or expansion notes, gradation targets, moisture, estimated tonnage, photos, sampling history
Volumes: pilots to multi-load programs; best economics at FTL and ongoing lanes
What We Don’t Accept
Hot slag at pickup (must be cooled/handled per site safety)
Mixed loads with household/MSW, asbestos, or hazardous wastes
Tar/asphalt-contaminated piles without prior disclosure/testing
How It Works
Share specs & photos. Slag type (BOF/EAF/ladle), aging/expansion status, moisture, pile footprint, target use, monthly tons.
Sampling & qualification. Confirm outlet criteria (e.g., gradation) and any required testing.
Plan processing. Optional metal recovery, crushing/screening & magnetics to hit spec.
Schedule logistics. End-dump/walking-floor or rail where available; BOLs, scale tickets.
Confirm results. “Where it went,” disposition, and metal-recovery summaries on request.
Logistics & Coverage
Bulk trucking nationwide • End-dump, dump trailer, or walking-floor • Rail options by site • Typical lead time 5–10 business days from approved spec
Industries We Serve
Integrated & mini-mills • Foundries & secondary steel • Slag processors • Site remediation & EPCs • Heavy civil/asphalt producers
Documentation & Compliance
Chain of custody & scale tickets
Site safety & access requirements honored
W-9, COI, NDA available
Outlet acceptance criteria and testing (e.g., gradation) coordinated as needed
Case Example
A Mid-Atlantic foundry landfilled a truckload/week of lime-rich slag. We qualified an outlet and launched a multi-load program, increasing diversion and lowering net disposal cost.
Steel Slag Recycling FAQs
Do you accept fresh slag, or does it need to age first?
We evaluate aging/expansion status with you. Some outlets require aging before use; we’ll advise the right path based on specs and target application.
Can you coordinate metal recovery before grading?
Yes. Where viable, we plan magnetics and metal recovery ahead of crushing/screening, then place graded material into compliant outlets.
What are the most common outlets for steel slag?
Typical uses include aggregate/road base, asphalt blends, and engineered fill. Final routing depends on chemistry, gradation, moisture, and approvals.
What tests are commonly requested?
Gradation and specific gravity are common; other tests may be required by outlet or state approval. We can coordinate sampling and trial loads.
What minimums make freight and processing economical?
We can support pilots, but recurring full-truckload or rail movements usually perform best on cost and outlet acceptance.
Can you handle rail movements and multi-site programs?
Yes. Where rail is available, we’ll plan movements accordingly and can coordinate multi-plant programs with consolidated reporting.
