Scrap Metal Recycling & Pick Up

Our professional junk removal collects, hauls, and drops off all kinds of junk at legal waste collection facilities. We believe our junk removal services are giving back to the community by helping consumers who do not, otherwise, have the means to get rid of their junk.

To initiate the removal process, the client must request a consultation with one of our qualified technicians. An appointment is scheduled, and the technician is dispatched to the client’s property within 24 and 48 hours of the initial request.

During the consultation, the technician assesses the scrap metal to determine the best disposal strategy. We always encourage recycling to landfill disposal because it keeps the pile of junk from continuing to generate dangerous greenhouse gases.

An appointment is scheduled for pickup and disposal of the scrap metals, which generally occurs at a later date.

Upon arrival at the client’s property, the removal team will begin to load up the scrap metal, separating each type for easier disposal. Most scrap metal is recyclable, depending on the interface.
