Common metal loads

Metal pickup starts with identifying the complete load

Separated, identifiable material is easier to review. Show us both the valuable metal and anything mixed around it before scheduling.

Steel and Iron

Structural pieces, shelving, racks, fencing, cabinets, machinery frames and other prepared ferrous metal.

Aluminum Copper and Brass

Separated nonferrous metal, insulated wire and identifiable commercial material subject to review.

Machinery and Commercial Scrap

Motors, industrial components, fixtures, production scrap and accumulated business metal.

Tell us before scheduling: Disclose fluids, fuel, pressure, sealed tanks, refrigerants, batteries, hazardous residue, unknown contents or ownership concerns inside the load.

Recycling experience since 1990

A practical recovery process built on family experience

Our background helps us identify, separate and route recoverable metal more deliberately than ordinary mixed material hauling.

  • Metal type and condition are reviewed before pickup.
  • Large prepared loads receive priority consideration.
  • Recoverable material is directed toward an appropriate recycling destination.
  • Mixed nonmetal contents are disclosed and quoted separately when needed.
Questions before pickup

Metal recycling questions

What kinds of metal do you pick up?

We review approved steel, iron, aluminum, copper, brass, insulated wire, machinery, shelving, fixtures and other identifiable metal.

Is metal pickup free?

Free pickup may be considered for qualifying large loads. Material type, quantity, preparation, access, distance and loading requirements must be reviewed first.

How large does the metal load need to be?

Large loads are prioritized. Send wide photos, close photos and an estimated quantity so we can determine whether the load fits our pickup service.

Do you remove mixed junk with the metal?

Mixed nonmetal material may require a hauling fee or a separate property cleanout quote. Show the entire load so both portions can be reviewed accurately.

Can you pick up machinery or heavy equipment?

Possibly. Send photos, dimensions, estimated weight, fluid information and loading conditions so equipment needs can be reviewed.

What information should I text?

Send wide photos, close photos, the pickup address, estimated quantity, metal type and details about gates, docks, stairs or loading equipment.
