Do you recycle anything else besides scrap metals?

Metal recycling is our specialty but we are just as happy to recycle your paper and cardboard. Presently we do not buy glass, plastic or electronics.

What do I need to do to recycle scrap metals?

Couple of simple things:

1- Bring your state ID, Military ID or Passport

2- If possible, sort your like metals by type.

 Example = separate your aluminum from your copper or stainless. This will make turning in your metals faster and more profitable.

Do you accept Electronic Scrap ( E-Scrap or E-Waste)?

We DO NOT accept electronics at this time.

Do you accept Automobiles

YES WE DO accept Automobiles.

Do you accept Refrigerators

We only accept refrigerators that have had the Freon (CFC) removed by a licensed HVAC contractor. We will require proof of the Freon evacuation before accepting any refrigerator so we recommend bringing in your receipt from the licensed technician who performed the evacuation. You can also call many landfills for alternative disposal options to responsibly recycle your old refrigerator.

I had some metal stolen, what should I do?

Call the police to report your material stolen and then CONTACT US
The faster we are made aware of your theft, the best chance we have to identify the materials if they are brought in.

Do you sell metal to the public?

Unfortunately we do not resell any items, including car parts, that have been brought in by other patrons.

Where does the metal go after I bring it in?

The material that we receive is shipped to local, national, and international mills. The materials are melted down and then used to create new products.

Recycling Tips

Crush Your Cans:

We buy aluminum cans by the pound.  Crush your cans before you bring them in so you can fit more into the same amount of space.

Clean your metals:

We pay more for “clean” material.  These are non steel materials such as aluminumcopper, or brass that are free of contaminants. Common contaminants are: wood, plastic, steel, rubber, adhesives, and paint. If you clean your material before coming in it will mean more money in your pocket. If you have any questions on how to clean your material please ask our staff.  They are happy to help.
