Accepted Material
We take circuit boards, computer towers, laptops, PC towers, and other old electronics that contain precious metals. PLEASE NOTE, WE DO NOT ACCEPT TVs OR CELL PHONES.
Ferrous metals are metals that contain iron and are commonly recycled due to their strength and durability. They include materials such as steel and iron products, and are often identified by their magnetic properties. Recycling ferrous metals helps conserve natural resources and reduces the need for new raw material production.
Non-ferrous metals are metals that do not contain significant amounts of iron. They are resistant to rust and corrosion, lightweight, and often used in electrical, construction, and manufacturing applications.
Scrap metal consists of discarded metal materials that can be recycled and repurposed. It includes both ferrous and non-ferrous metals and is collected from manufacturing, construction, and everyday items to reduce waste and support sustainable metal reuse.
Copper is a highly conductive, reddish-brown metal known for its excellent electrical and thermal conductivity. It is durable, corrosion-resistant, and widely used in electrical wiring, plumbing, electronics, and industrial applications.
Brass is a durable alloy made primarily of copper and zinc. It is corrosion-resistant, has a bright gold-like appearance, and is commonly used in plumbing, musical instruments, decorative items, and hardware.
Aluminum is a lightweight, silver-colored metal known for its corrosion resistance and high strength-to-weight ratio. It is widely used in construction, transportation, packaging, and aerospace applications.
Stainless steel is a strong, corrosion-resistant alloy made primarily of iron, chromium, and sometimes nickel. It is widely used in construction, kitchenware, medical instruments, and industrial applications.
Grades of wire refer to the classification of scrap wire based on metal type, purity, and insulation. Different grades—such as copper wire, aluminum wire, or insulated wire—determine their value and recyclability in the scrap metal industry.
Electric motors are valuable scrap items because they contain metals like copper, aluminum, and steel. They are collected, dismantled, and recycled for their metal content, making them an important source of reusable materials in the scrap industry.
Scrap iron consists of discarded iron materials collected from construction, manufacturing, and old machinery. It is melted down and recycled to produce new iron products, making it a key resource in the scrap metal industry.
