Public Scrap and Salvage
We all pick up scrap metals and appliances at some point in our life, and eventually we have enough to fill your standard pickup truck. If this is the case, you could be dealing with old aluminum parts and pieces, or perhaps some copper scrap metal. It doesn’t really matter where they come from. In this situation, you would come and have your truck weighed and then be paid by weight for the precious metal scrap weight that is in your truck. Often, more detail is taken on the type and amount of precious metals. The price is adjusted accordingly.
If you have your truck loaded up with items on the list above, such as old motors or even washing machines and fridges, you are also paid for the weight of them in your truck. Due to their relatively low value, they don’t require the same detailing in paperwork, and the price is more general. The more old washing machines and fridges you have, the better. Just make sure the accepted material is included on the list, as we don’t accept everything.
Commercial Scrap and Salvage
If you are a commercial client or have a business and have a lot of scrap metal. We can offer a dumpster that can be taken to site for you to fill up with those scrap pieces that are part of the industrial process. We will then pick up the waste when it is full and, after determining the weight of the scrap and its value, give you the cash for its worth. Nice to know that you can literally make money out of your dumpster use.
Regardless of which situation you are in, the use of the shredder is what allows us to offer up the high prices that we do for scrap metals — precious and otherwise. Since we are able to rely on the effective and efficient services of the shredder, the results for what is delivered to us are fast and easily organized to help us determine what is the best price for what you’ve brought in. We are the only scrapyard in the general area that has access to this powerful shredder. That allows us to offer you the absolute best price for the metals that you bring.
Gone are the days where you were paid mere pennies for the metals and scrap materials that you brought in. Now, you can actually earn some value for the products that you bring us, and we focus on keeping our services open to the personal customer, who comes to us with a pickup truck loaded up, and ac commercial customer, who requires dumpster transportation. Everyone is welcome to use our metal scrap services, and the results will be well worth the time and effort that it may take. Dumpster diving just got a whole lot better! Well, kinda…
