What is commercial scrap metal pickup?

We remove heavy scrap metal from your site so it does not go in your dumpsters. Appliances, HVAC units, fixtures, piping, and structural steel all get picked up and hauled away. This keeps dumpsters lighter and lowers your monthly waste bills.

We place a container on site or schedule direct pickups. Your team loads metal or we remove it for you. The metal never touches your dumpster. Your waste costs go down.

Why does scrap metal raise dumpster costs?

Metal is heavy. Dumpsters are priced by weight. When you put metal in the dumpster, the weight goes up fast. A refrigerator weighs 250 pounds. A stove weighs 200 pounds. Put a few appliances in and you hit weight limits.

Heavy dumpsters cost more to haul. You get charged overweight fees. The dumpster fills faster so you need more frequent pickups. Each extra pull costs money. Your monthly waste bill climbs.

Remove the metal and the weight goes down. Lighter dumpsters cost less. You need fewer pulls. Your bills drop.

What types of metal do you pick up?

We pick up all types of commercial scrap metal. Ferrous metal like steel, iron, and appliances. Non-ferrous metal like aluminum, copper, and brass. If it is metal, we take it.

Common items include refrigerators, stoves, washers, dryers, HVAC units, water heaters, bed frames, shelving, piping, wiring, fixtures, and structural steel. We handle the sorting. You just separate metal from regular trash.

What items should never go in a dumpster?

Heavy metal items should never go in dumpsters. Appliances are the worst offenders. Refrigerators, stoves, washers, dryers, and dishwashers are too heavy. They push dumpsters over weight limits fast.

HVAC equipment should not go in dumpsters. Water heaters, furnaces, air conditioners, and condensers add too much weight. Bulk metal items like bed frames, shelving units, and metal furniture should stay out.

These items need direct removal. We pick them up and haul them away. They never touch your dumpster. Your dumpster stays light and your costs stay low.
