First, confirm that the fence is indeed made of wrought iron, which is highly recyclable. Modern items labeled as “wrought iron” are often made of mild steel and should be processed accordingly​​.

Grade

Wrought iron has a much lower carbon content (usually less than .08%), but it contains small amounts (1 to 2%) of slag, the byproduct of iron ore smelting consisting of silicon, sulfur, phosphorus, and aluminum oxides). The lower mixture of carbon makes the metal more malleable and ductile. As the material is heated, reheated, and hammered into shape the slag is worked out of the iron and the material grows progressively stronger and more fibrous in composition. Wrought iron will often undergo at least about a half dozen cycles of heating and working.

Wrought iron: It is made from the raw element of iron. Professional workmanship with hammer marks and other signs of blacksmith techniques. Wrought iron will bend under extreme heat and does not dent, dimple, or collapse.
