Spring-Specific Scrap Metal Ideas

We know spring cleaning isn’t just about tidying up; it’s about creating a fresh start. What better way to start than by clearing out those metal items cluttering your yard, garage, or home… and getting paid for it?

Yard Cleanup

Is that old, rusty lawnmower finally giving out? Time to recycle it! We also take grills, metal fencing, and worn-out patio furniture. Disassemble larger items for easier transport, and remember to drain any fluids.

Scrapping Tip: If you’re scrapping tools, appliances, etc., be sure to remove the batteries and dump out the gasoline.

Home Renovation/DIY Projects

Leftover copper pipes from a plumbing project? Extra wiring from electrical work? Old metal fixtures from a bathroom remodel? Bring them on down!

Safety Tip: Wear gloves when handling sharp metal, and secure your load when transporting.

Garage/Shed Decluttering

Those old tools you never use, broken car parts, rusted bicycles, and metal shelving taking up valuable space? Turn them into cash! We accept a wide range of metals, including aluminum, copper, steel, and more.

Bonus Tip: Remember to separate all your metals for the best payout.
