For large quantities of metal (thousands of lbs.), we offer dumpster rentals.
For large jobs, we can provide a clam truck that can physically pick up metal, load it into trailers, and haul it away. Call for additional information.

How does your metal recycling dumpster service work? (Back)

Call our office and let us know where, when and how long you need a dumpster/li>
We will deliver the dumpster, and you fill it with your metal
When the dumpster is full, call us and we will pick it up or exchange it for an empty one
When the project is done, and we have the dumpster back, we will cut you a check for the weight and mail it to you.

Can I buy scrap metal from you? (Back)

Do you have any parts for my car? (Back)

How does the vehicle scale work? (Back)

When the scale is empty, drive your vehicle onto the scale and stop
When you see the stoplight flash green, your weight has been stamped and you may proceed to the yard to unload your metal.
Once your metal has been unloaded, repeat the process of driving onto the scale for an empty weight
Stop in the office to collect your payment
Any metal you drop is communicated from the yard to the office, so there is no need to stop in and tell the office what metal you have prior to your entrance into the yard.

How much will you pay me/what are your prices? (Back)

If we are unloading your vehicle trailer with a piece of equipment, we ask that you and your passengers get out of the vehicle and stand in front of it, away from the unloading process.
