What You Can Recycle With Us
Many people are unsure what qualifies as acceptable scrap. We take a variety of metal-based and electronic items, making it easier for you to turn extra materials into a return. If you’re overrun with spare metal or outdated electronics, there’s a good chance we accept it.
Common items we recycle:
Ferrous Metals
Includes items like steel, cast iron, vehicle parts, and home appliances.
Non-Ferrous Metals
Such as copper, brass, aluminum, and stainless steel—typically found in wiring, HVAC systems, and plumbing fixtures.
Electronic Waste
Discarded electronics like computers, servers, phones, and circuit boards. These items often contain materials that are harmful in landfills.
Other Acceptable Items
Clean sheet metal, batteries, insulated wires, and related recyclable components.
Some items may be restricted or hazardous, and we encourage you to contact us if you’re unsure. Many first-time customers come in with small loads, see how simple and fair our process is, and become long-term partners.
