Scrap Metal Disposal

Scrap metal may not fit in your blue box, and some items aren’t accepted curbside. Whether it is empty cans, old fencing, or steel roofing, gathering it is only part of the job. That includes cans and the old frying pan, iron, copper, bronze and brass, even rebar and piping can be included. Once loaded up, you still have to take it somewhere.

What about that old swing set, folding lawn chairs or old BBQ or smoker? They’re scrap metal too. It’s not just old car parts or bikes; it’s any metal scrap you don’t want. If you’re a business or live in the suburbs, disposing of metal can be heavy and hazardous work if edges are sharp.

We take the pain out of scrap metal removal. Our team will arrive on time and haul it away for eco-friendly disposal. Just give us a call and say, “Recycle my junk!”

What to Do With Old Scrap Metal

Scrap metal can have many uses if you’re a metal worker. However, for most of us, it may only be a sharp edge in the yard. Small pieces may be ok in your blue box, but pieces of roofing, fencing or an old swing set don’t fit. If you have a trailer or truck, you can load it up. The question is where to take it?

There are different service groups, sports teams, even the Boy Scouts, who yearly (or more often) do scrap metal pick up for a fundraiser. We make getting rid of scrap metal easy. All you have to do is pick up the phone and schedule a pickup. We do the lifting and loading and haul away your scrap metal.

How to Get Rid of Old Scrap Metal

Getting rid of scrap metal is not easy. You can cut it up into small blue box size pieces and have it taken away a piece or two at a time. You can wait for the Boy Scouts or another service group to offer to take that metal off your hands.

You could call up a local metal worker or college that has welding classes and see if they want it. Alternatively, you could load it up and take it for recycling. Alternatively, you can let our professional loaders and drivers take away.

Where Can I Take Old Scrap Metal to Dump?

Many communities have recycling businesses that take scrap metal. They refuse to take any metal junk as trash since it won’t decompose. Some metals are also coated with chemicals to prevent it from rusting, and those chemicals will contaminate ground and drinking water.

You can load it up and lug it away, wait for a service group to knock on your door. Or you can contact us. For scrap metal disposal made easy let our scrap metal experts take it away.

Can Scrap Metal Be Recycled?

Most scrap metal can be recycled. Copper, brass, and bronze can be reused or melted down and made into new products. Aluminum, tin, iron, and steal can too. Some metal contaminated with paints or oils may have to be cleaned first, but they can be reused too. Some items can be repurposed or used and sold at second-hand stores to replace damaged parts.
