What We Specialize In

We do more than haul metal.

We prepare recoverable material so as much of the load as possible can go back into recycling.

Non-Ferrous Cleaning

We clean and prepare aluminum, copper, brass, wire and other non-ferrous material where practical.

Disassembly

We separate attached steel, plastic, housings and other material when it makes sense for recovery.

Sorting & Recycling

Recoverable material is sorted and directed toward appropriate recycling whenever possible.

Recycling First

We try to recover as much as possible.

Instead of treating everything as mixed junk, we separate useful material whenever practical and route recyclable metal appropriately.

  • Non-ferrous material separated when practical
  • Attached material removed when it improves recovery
  • Metal sorted before recycling
  • Mixed nonmetal material handled separately when needed
Quick Answers

Before pickup.

Do you disassemble metal items?

Yes, when practical. We specialize in disassembly and cleaning of non-ferrous material to improve sorting and recovery.

Is metal pickup free?

Qualifying large loads may be considered for free pickup. Material type, quantity, access, distance and required labor are reviewed first.

Can you pick up mixed metal and junk?

Yes, but mixed nonmetal material may require a hauling fee or a separate cleanout quote.

What should I text you?

Send wide photos, close photos, your ZIP or pickup location and an estimate of how much material you have.
