Thinking about getting into the scrap metal game? Don’t be intimidated – it’s simpler than you think, especially with Smith Iron & Metal! Our motto, “Get Weighed and Get Paid,” perfectly sums up our straightforward process.

Here’s a quick refresher on how our scrap metal recycling process works:

1. Roll in with your scrap: Gather your copper, aluminum, steel, insulated wire, or any other scrap metal you’ve collected.
2. We weigh your load: Provide your ID and vehicle information, and we’ll weigh your vehicle with the scrap metal.
3. Unload your scrap: We’ll help you unload your scrap metal safely and efficiently.
4. Weigh again: Drive back onto the scale, and we’ll deduct the empty vehicle weight from the initial weight.
5. Get paid: Present your weight ticket to the cashier and receive cash (or a check for larger loads).

It’s really that simple! We understand the most challenging part is often finding the scrap metal itself. That’s why we want the rest of the experience to be a breeze – quick, easy, and profitable. Our streamlined process has been honed over 80 years of serving Richmond as the top scrap metal recycling facility around. Ask anyone who scraps – Smith Iron & Metal is the place to go for a fast, easy process with fair pricing and honest, straightforward payment.  That’s why we say… when it comes to scrap metal, head up to Smith Iron & Metal to “Get Weighed and Get Paid!”
