What We Do
Turning Scrap Into Value with Honest, Reliable Service
We provide simple, transparent scrap metal recycling for both businesses and everyday people. With fair pricing, fast service, and a commitment to doing things the right way, we make it easy to turn unwanted metal into real value.
What We Buy
We buy ferrous and non-ferrous metal from households, contractors, businesses, and more: copper, aluminum, brass, stainless steel, lead, iron, steel, batteries, appliances, radiators, wire, sheet metal, computer hard drives and complete vehicles. Sorting your metal before you arrive is worth the effort — separated metal is paid at each metal’s own rate, while a mixed load is paid at the rate of the lowest-value metal in it. Everything is weighed in front of you at the scale, and you are paid before you leave.
