Did you know that practically anything made out of metal can be recycled? We commonly refer to this as "SCRAP" or "SCRAP METAL" and if you can find a way to get it to one of our scrap yards, we'll pay cash for it! We're talking old cars, bikes, BBQ's, trampolines, dishwashers, refrigerators, wheel barrels, shovel heads… ANYTHING MADE FROM METAL IS GAME at our scrap yards. Call us at 1-800-GOT-SCRAP (1-800-468-7272) and we'll help you figure out how much scrap metal you might have and approximately what it's worth if you bring it to one of our scrap yards.
