It’s easy, grab a magnet!
The most valuable materials are generally non-ferrous metals, which do not stick to a magnet.
Common examples include:

• Copper
• Brass
• Aluminum
• Stainless Steel
• Lead
• Insulated Copper Wire

Steel can also be accepted, but because it’s generally worth much less than non-ferrous metals, fundraisers that focus on non-ferrous materials typically generate a higher return.
