Spring Cleanup Starts at SIM
Scrapping in Winter
February 11, 2026
March has arrived in Richmond, and the big cleanup is underway. Maybe you’re clearing out your garage at home, or you’re a site manager getting a job site ready for what’s next. Either way, you probably have a huge pile of “trash” in front of you.
Before you call a junk removal service or drag a dumpster to the curb, check what’s in that pile. If you see metal, it’s not just trash… it could put money in your pocket.
Don’t Throw Away a Payday!
For 86 years, SIM has helped people in Richmond see that what looks like clutter can actually be valuable.
