Scrap to Gone in Three Steps
Free, fast, and often pays you. Here’s exactly what happens from your first call to the swept-clean finish — no surprises anywhere in between.
Step one
Tell Us the Metal
Call (313) 555-0184 or send the pickup form with a few phone photos. Tell us what you’ve got, roughly how much, and where it sits — garage, basement, jobsite, back forty. We’ll identify the metals from the photos, flag anything that earns a payout, and give you a free pickup window, usually within the same week.
Big or unusual jobs — full shops, plants, multi-vehicle lots — get a free walkthrough first so the quote is firm and the crew arrives with the right rigging. What we quote is the deal: $0 to haul, payout as estimated.
What to send us
- Two or three photos of the pile or equipment
- The address and where the metal sits on it
- Anything you know: appliances, copper, cars, machines
- Your preferred pickup days — we fit them
Step two
We Haul It
The crew arrives in your window — on time, in uniform, with the truck and gear the job needs. Appliances get disconnected and dollied out; machinery gets rigged and skated; vehicles get winched onto the rollback; loose scrap gets sorted into grades as it loads.
You don’t lift a finger or pay a dime. Floors, doorways, and driveways are protected while we work, and the crew’s rule is simple: leave every site cleaner than we found it.
- On-time arrival in a confirmed window
- Right gear: dollies, skates, winches, rollbacks
- Licensed, insured crew on every job
Step three
Get Paid & Cleaned Up
Here’s the part other haulers skip: valuable metal is weighed on a certified scale where you can watch, graded in front of you, and paid at that day’s market rate — cash or check, your choice, before the truck leaves. No “we’ll figure it at the yard,” no mystery deductions.
Then the brooms come out. Floors swept, nails magnet-picked, gates latched. Everything rides to licensed recyclers — never a landfill — and commercial accounts get scale tickets and a recycling certificate for the file.
How payout works
- Weighed on a certified scale, in front of you
- Paid at that day’s published market rate by grade
- Cash or check on the spot — your choice
- Low-grade loads still hauled free, no payout
