THE PROCESS

For you to receive the most efficient service possible, please check the following:

Is the metal accessible?
Items should be placed outside or in an easily accessible area such as a driveway, yard, garage, or side of the house whenever possible.

We ask that items not be left in the alley or back lane, except for possibly when pickup is scheduled for 'that day', this is because sometimes items left in the back alley are considered 'free game' and they may be picked up by someone else before we get there. A lot of effort is put into arranging scheduling and logistics, so your understanding is greatly appreciated in this request.

Is there a reasonable amount of metal?
Free pickups are usually available when there is enough scrap metal to make the trip worthwhile.

Can you send photos?
Photos help us quickly confirm whether your pickup qualifies for free removal and allows us to schedule jobs more efficiently.

If you’re unsure, feel free to send us a message and we’ll be happy to take a look.

Before Requesting a Pickup

How Scrap Metal Pickup Works

We aim to make scrap metal removal simple and straightforward. Here’s how the process works.

1️⃣ Contact Us

Reach out to us by phone, text, email, Facebook, or through our website.

When contacting us, please include:

• A brief description of the metal items
• Photos if possible
• Where the items are located (yard, garage, inside the home, etc.)
• Your city or neighborhood

Fastest response time is through text or contact form.

Photos help us determine whether the pickup qualifies for free removal.

2️⃣ Review & Confirmation

After reviewing the details, we may ask for additional information or photos to better understand the job.

If the items are:

• Easily accessible
• Not labour intensive
• Contain enough scrap metal to make the trip worthwhile
• Or located along an existing pickup route

then the pickup will usually qualify for free removal.

We will confirm the day we plan to be in your area and schedule the pickup.

3️⃣ Pickup Scheduling

Free pickups are often scheduled along our regular service routes.

This means you may sometimes need to wait 1–2 weeks until we are in your area.

If a pickup is required immediately or is outside our normal route, a pickup fee will be applied to same or next-day pick-ups if we were not already logistically scheduled to be in your area.

4️⃣ Scrap Metal Removal

On the scheduled day, we will arrive and remove the scrap metal items.

For most free pickups, the metal simply needs to be placed outside in an accessible location such as:

• A driveway
• Side of house
• Yard
• Garage

No one needs to be present at time of removal if the items are easily accessible and no special considerations are present.

Additional Services

Disassembly Services

Some items require additional labor to safely remove.

Examples include:

• Shelving units
• Workout equipment
• Larger metal structures

There will be a disassembly fee applied to labour intensive requests.

Send a photo to quickly determine if your removal will require a disassembly fee.

Inside Pickup

If metal items need to be removed from inside a residence, there is a $50 per item fee.

Additional charges may apply for:

• Multiple flights of stairs
• Heavier or more labor-intensive removals

For quickest determination on whether your removal requires additional fees please contact us with photos and details of the removal.

Commercial

& Contractor Pickups

Businesses and Contractors often generate large amounts of scrap metals.

Because these jobs usually involve larger loads and longer pickup times, a $50 baseline service fee may apply depending on the scope of the job.

For quickest determination on whether your removal requires additional fees please contact us with photos and details of the removal.

For businesses that regularly produce scrap metal, we offer scheduled pickup memberships.

Examples include:

• Monthly pickup: $50 per month
• Weekly pickup: $200 per month

This allows businesses such as auto shops, contractors, and warehouses to keep their scrap areas clean and organized with regularly scheduled service. If you require a bin on-site, we can also work with your project manager to determine which option best fits your needs.

As the program grows, there are plans that Membership clients will receive appreciation perks .

Why Some Pickups Have Fees

Many people are surprised to learn that scrap metal often has very low value.

For example, common scrap steel currently averages around $0.09 per pound, which means items like BBQs may only be worth $3–5 in scrap value.

Our business works because we collect large quantities of metal across many pickups. Smaller pickups or jobs that require additional travel or labour may include service fees to help cover fuel & operating costs.

We always aim to keep our services fair and transparent while making metal recycling accessible and reliable to everyone!

Important Notes

• Free pickup is available when there is a reasonable amount of scrap metal.
• Small pickups (we're talking a toaster over or door hinges small!) may require a $30 service fee.
• A $30 no-show fee may apply if we arrive for a scheduled pickup and the metal has been removed without notice.
• Photos are the fastest way for us to confirm pickup details.
