While most metals can be recycled, some metals like mercury and radioactive metals pose risks to human health and the environment during recycling processes. These metals are handled carefully for disposal rather than being recycled.
The three most commonly recycled metals are aluminum, steel, and copper. Aluminum is the most recycled metal because it does not degrade during the recycling process and can be recycled indefinitely. Steel and copper are also commonly recycled due to their high demand and the cost savings associated with recycling them.
Approximately 40% of the nickel used worldwide is made from recycled metals. Recycling nickel helps to conserve natural resources and reduce the environmental impact of nickel production.
Metals are recycled by collecting items such as cans, bottles, and scrap metal, sorting them by their type, cleaning and processing them to remove impurities, and melting them down to create new metal products. This process helps save energy, reduce waste, and conserve natural resources.
Metals that are not recycled typically end up in landfills where they can take hundreds to thousands of years to break down. As they degrade, they can release toxins into the soil and water, contributing to environmental pollution. Recycling metals helps conserve natural resources and reduces the need for new mining and extraction.
almost all can be recycled

Yes
* no i dont think so but i know it is highly recycled metals are elements and there for never really disapear, they can be recycled.
they can be melted, mixed with other metals(alloys)
Nearly all metals can be recycled depending on the locality. The most common recycled metals include aluminum, steel, copper and iron
Recycling saves energy by reusin materials, and keeps trash out of the environment.Some materials that can be recycled include:Aluminum, especially drink cansNewspaperPlastic containersGlassScrap metals, especially leadBatteries containing mercury or leadCompact Fluorescent BulbsComputer parts that contain heavy metals
Junk yards to be destroyed
the precious gold in laptops are not recycled because it's too valuable to be recycled but iron and aluminium can be recyled.
The metal is melted and remoulded!
