metals
Recycle your metals and earn money! Bring your metals to the yard and we’ll recycle it for you. We will pay you for the non-ferrous metals you drop off. By recycling metals, you can divert valuable materials from the landfill and reduce the amount of ore mining needed throughout the world. Recyclable metals include but are not limited to copper, steel, aluminum, brass, and iron.

Batteries
We will purchase your lead acid batteries. Generally, these are batteries from vehicles, but include any that have a Pb symbol (identifying them as lead). If you have numerous batteries, please secure them on a pallet, which will allow for timely offloading. We will pay 20% more on palletized batteries, if they are secure & do not need to be re-stacked. Batteries may be stacked on a pallet 3 layers high.
