Commodities We Pickup
Our free scrap metal pick-up service collects items that often contain valuable materials like copper, aluminum, and teel, which can be recycled and repurposed, reducing the need for new production. By doing so, we help reduce waste in landfills and minimize the environmental impact of metal extraction processes. Additionally, recycling scrap metal creates economic opportunities through the resale of materials and the development of a sustainable business model, benefiting both the environment and the local economy.
Copper
Copper metal is known for its excellent conductivity, making it a popular choice for electrical wiring. Its corrosion resistance also makes it ideal for use in plumbing systems. Additionally, copper's antimicrobial properties have led to its use in various medical equipment and surfaces to help prevent the spread of infections. These qualities make copper a versatile material with a wide range of applications.
Brass
Brass is an alloy made primarily of copper and zinc. It is known for its golden appearance and is often used in making musical instruments, decorative items, and plumbing fixtures. Brass is durable, corrosion-resistant, and can be easily shaped into various forms due to its malleability.
Insulated Copper Wire
Insulated copper wire is widely used due to its excellent conductivity and durability. The insulation protects the copper from corrosion and prevents electrical shorts. This makes it a reliable choice for various applications, such as electrical wiring and telecommunications.
Aluminum
Aluminum is a versatile metal used in various industries. It is lightweight and corrosion-resistant, making it ideal for applications where these properties are crucial. Aluminum is also recyclable, which reduces the environmental impact of its production and disposal. Its conductivity makes it valuable in electrical applications, such as wiring and electronics. These qualities make aluminum a popular choice in many different sectors.
Electric Motors
Electric motors offer numerous benefits, such as high efficiency and low maintenance requirements. They are also eco-friendly, producing no emissions or exhaust. Additionally, electric motors provide precise control and are quieter in operation compared to traditional combustion engines. These advantages make electric motors a popular choice for various applications, from household appliances to industrial machinery.
Car Batteries
Car batteries are essential for providing the necessary power to start the engine and run electrical systems. Regular maintenance, such as checking the battery's age and ensuring proper connections, can help prevent unexpected breakdowns. Opting for a high-quality battery with a longer lifespan can provide peace of mind and help avoid inconvenient situations.
Compressors
Compressors are essential for various industries. They help in pressurizing air for power tools and machinery. Compressors are also used in refrigeration systems for cooling purposes. Their versatility makes them a valuable asset in many industrial applications.
Cast Iron
Cast metal is a versatile material used in various industries. Its ability to be molded into complex shapes makes it ideal for creating intricate designs. The durability of cast metal ensures long-lasting products that can withstand harsh conditions. This material is favored in automotive and aerospace industries for its strength and reliability.
Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is known for its durability and resistance to corrosion. This makes it a popular choice for kitchen appliances and cookware. Its sleek and modern appearance also adds a touch of elegance to any kitchen space. Additionally, stainless steel is easy to clean and maintain, making it a practical choice for busy households.
Shred/White Goods
Shredded metal from white goods, like refrigerators and washing machines, can be recycled to create new products. This process helps reduce waste and minimizes the environmental impact of discarded appliances. By shredding and repurposing these materials, we can contribute to a more sustainable approach to managing electronic waste.
Brake Rotors
Brake rotors are a key component of a vehicle's braking system. They work together with the brake pads to slow down or stop the vehicle. Over time, brake rotors can wear down due to the friction generated during braking. It's important to regularly inspect and maintain the brake rotors to ensure optimal performance and safety on the road.
Electronics/E-Waste
E-waste poses a significant environmental hazard due to toxic components like lead and mercury. Recycling e-waste is crucial to prevent these harmful materials from leaching into the soil and water supply. Proper disposal and recycling of electronic waste also help recover valuable resources, such as precious metals like gold and silver, reducing the need for new mining.
Plate/Structural
Plate and structural metals are essential components in the construction industry. Plate metals, such as steel plates, are commonly used for building robust structures like bridges and buildings due to their strength and durability. On the other hand, structural metals, like I-beams and angle irons, provide crucial support and framework for various construction projects. The combination of these two types of metals ensures the stability and integrity of structures, making them vital in the field of construction and engineering.
Hvac
Heating and cooling systems are essential for maintaining a comfortable indoor environment. Heating systems help keep us warm during colder months, while cooling systems provide relief from the summer heat. Properly functioning HVAC systems can improve indoor air quality and create a more pleasant living or working environment. Regular maintenance and proper insulation are key factors in ensuring the efficiency and longevity of these systems.
