Mostly Metal, We Take it!
The "Gold" Mine (Non-Ferrous Metals)
The magnet doesn't stick!
- Copper: Pipes, tubing, roofing, and flashing.
- Insulated Copper Wire: Extension cords, house wiring, and communication cables. We actually have a dedicated wire granulator on-site that eats this stuff for breakfast, so bring us your tangled messes!
- Brass: Plumbing fixtures, valves, fittings, and yes, even that terrifying antique brass lamp from your attic.
- Aluminum: Soda cans, siding, window frames, and gutters. (If you crushed the cans against your forehead, we’ll still buy them).
- Stainless Steel: Kitchen sinks and appliances.
The Heavy Metal Section (Ferrous Metals)
The magnet sticks to it.
- Household Appliances: Washers, dryers, ranges, and water heaters. (Unfortunately, dropping off your washer does not get you out of doing laundry).
- Cast Iron: Old bathtubs, radiators, and the heavy skillets you accidentally ruined.
- Structural Steel & Iron: Leftover pipes, beams, and angle iron from that DIY project you swore you’d finish three years ago.
- Automotive Parts: Brake rotors, drums, and heavy engine blocks.
The "Absolutely Not" Pile (Hazardous & Explosive)
We like our yard safe, clean, and explosion-free.
- Fluids & Liquids: Motor oil, antifreeze, paint, or chemicals. We buy the metal, not the puddle of mystery fluid it left on your driveway.
- Sealed Tanks & Cylinders: Propane, oxygen, and freon tanks. Unless the tank is cut cleanly in half so we know it won't go boom, it stays in your truck.
- Hazardous Materials: Asbestos, biohazards, or anything with a radiation sticker. Leave the glowing stuff to the comic book villains.
The "Not Actually Scrap Metal" Section
If it's not metal, we're not your guys.
- General Trash & Debris: Wood, concrete, dirt, glass, and roofing shingles. We know it's tempting to clean out the whole garage at once, but we aren't the local dump!
- Loose Tires: We can't take them. (We do not take tires with rubber).
- Old TVs & Monitors: Those heavy, boxy 1990s CRT televisions and computer monitors.
The "Not Yours to Sell" Collection (Legal & Public Property)
We work very closely with local law enforcement. Let's keep things legal.
- Public & Utility Property: Street signs, manhole covers, guardrails, and railroad scrap. Unless you are the mayor of Hammond or bring us verifiable official letterhead authorization, we cannot accept public property.
- Stolen Property: We require valid IDs, keep detailed records, and have cameras everywhere. We'd hate to introduce you to the police under awkward circumstances!
