The pickets are the vertical bars that run between the rails and are typically spaced evenly apart. They can vary widely in height, style, and design. Traditional wrought iron pickets are straight and rigid, while modern designs may feature curves, twists, or even decorative motifs. The spacing between pickets can affect the level of visibility and security, allowing homeowners to customize their fences to meet specific needs.

Recycling is a preferred method for disposing of wrought iron due to its sustainability and economic benefits. 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​​.

However, the specific environmental impact of each type of iron comes down to differences in processing. Cast iron, made from melting down scrap iron and other alloys, does make use of recycled materials. However, the energy-intensive process of melting and casting iron can have a significant carbon footprint. Cast iron is also more likely to need replacement if damaged, potentially resulting in more frequent material use over time.
