Selecting the cheapest rag option sometimes gives you unexpected and even dangerous results. Reclaimed rags come from a lot of sources — foreign material is occasionally recycled in to rags after its original use. What else gets tossed in or caught up in the pile of material when being shipped off to the recycler?

• Razor Blades
• Knives
• Zippers
• Snaps
• Needles
• Pins

Plus the rag itself may have metal buttons, zippers or buckles. Our studies indicate that as much as 5% of all reclaimed rags contain detectable metal. Don’t be the one who opens that box of rags.

Our rags are 100% metal scanned with a metal scanner that digitally scans every rag and auto detects the presence of metal, ejecting any potential metal out of the conveyor to prevent it from being packed into the bags our boxes.
