Job at a glance
Work included
Pickup of the agreed scrap-metal load, with material condition, handling and destination reviewed before scheduling.
Access and preparation
Identify the metal, its approximate amount, where it sits, vehicle access and any contamination.
What shapes the quote
Pricing depends on load, access, travel, contamination and current recycling value. Once we review the material, the quote shows whether its recycling value covers the pickup, reduces the price or leaves a charge.

Planning the job
Separate loose scrap from equipment still in use
- A scrap request might be a pile of detached metal, retired equipment or material left after another job.
- A fence panel lying on the ground and a fence still standing are different scopes even when both contain similar material.
- For farms, workshops and shared properties, make the removal boundary clear.
- Mark retained items and identify who can authorize the pickup.
Evaluate the pickup as a complete job
- Recycling value is one part of a scrap pickup.
- The work can also involve reaching the pile, separating approved items and loading pieces that cannot easily be carried together.
- Use the quote to confirm the pickup work, how any recycling value affects the price, and which material is outside the accepted load.

Frequently asked questions
What counts as scrap?
Anything mostly metal: appliances, railings, mowers, pipe, sheds that came down. If a magnet grabs most of it, it scraps.
Why would a pickup be free?
Because the metal has value at the yard. A curbside pile of clean scrap can pay for its own trip; the answer comes with your photo.
