Abstract:

By rail, truck, and river barge, scrap metal arrives at the Nucor steel mill in Hertford County. There the scrap is melted down and converted into steel plates that are used in heavy-duty products, including bridges and cars. In 2003, the mill consumed over one million tons of scrap metal. The mill employs 391 with an average salary of $60,000.
