Why Recycle Scrap Metal?
Metal recycling is one of the most impactful ways to reduce environmental harm
Reduce Mining
Recycling metal reduces the need for environmentally damaging mining operations
Energy Efficient
Recycling metal uses 95% less energy than producing new metal from ore
Circular Economy
Metal can be recycled infinitely without losing quality or properties
Lower Emissions
Metal recycling significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions

E-Waste Recycling
We also accept electronic waste (ewaste) for responsible recycling. Electronic items contain valuable metals and materials that can be recovered and reused.
E-Waste Items We Accept:
Note: Some ewaste items may incur a small processing fee. Contact us for details on specific items.
Why E-Waste Recycling Matters
Recover Valuable Materials
Electronics contain gold, silver, copper, and rare earth metals that can be recovered.
Prevent Toxic Pollution
E-waste contains hazardous materials that must be handled properly to prevent environmental damage.
Reduce Landfill
Electronic waste takes up valuable landfill space and can leach harmful chemicals.
Preparing Your Scrap Metal
Tips to make your drop off easier and more efficient
Separate Different Metals
If possible, separate ferrous and non-ferrous metals. This helps with processing and maximizes recycling efficiency.
Remove Non-Metal Parts
Remove plastic, rubber, and other non-metal components where practical. Pure metal loads are easier to process.
Drain Fluids
Ensure appliances and equipment are drained of oil, fuel, and other fluids before drop off.
Transport Safely
Secure loads properly and be mindful of sharp edges. Our team can help with unloading if needed.
