We understand how time-consuming it is to dispose of bulky scraps. So save your effort and let our scrap metal collection team lift the heavy load for you. You just need to schedule a time for scrap metal pick up and we’ll have everything wrapped up in no time. We’ll pick up any type of scrap, along with any extra junk you may have.
From steel, iron, aluminum, bronze, brass, and tin, Jiffy Junk's scrap metal removal service can remove any of your unwanted metal materials. Our scrap metal haulers will not only give you back the extra space you’ve been wanting but also guarantees your junk will undergo an eco-frienldy recycling process.
Did you know steel is the most commonly used metal in the world and is also 100% recyclable? Our scrap metal haulers collect steel and ensure an eco-friendly disposal of your unwanted parts or materials, no matter the size or volume.
Jiffy Junk’s scrap metal pickup service also collects iron - a highly abundant and immensely popular metal. Given its porousness, iron tends to oxidize over time which causes rust on its surface. Due to the high maintenance price, recycling is the best option for your old or unwanted iron materials with our eco-friendly disposal service.
Did you know that recycling aluminum saves at least 90% of the energy in comparison to producing new aluminum? As one of the easiest recycled metals, our junk metal pickup team will remove any of your excesses or scrap aluminum materials and ensure an eco-friendly disposal.
Bronze, the first human-made alloy, is a hard element known to resist fatigue that doesn’t bend or crack. Due to its high production price, bronze is one of the most highly sought materials to recycle. Our metal junk removal specialists can dispose of your unwanted bronze in eco-friendly fashion and help reduce the emission footprint needed to produce it.
Do you have scrap brass? Brass is great for recycling since it can be recycled many times without significant loss of quality. Also, it requires less energy to repurpose than many other metals. No wonder it’s considered one of the most eco-friendly metals in the world!
Tin is another type of material we cover in our junk metal pick up services. It can be recycled many times and still keep the same quality. Due to its versatility and unique properties, it's highly recommended to recycle any unwanted or scrap tin materials.

Scrap Metal Pick Up FAQs
Get in touch with the Jiffy Junk team for all your scrap metal removal questions.
Scrap metal disposal can only be done legally at specific locations such as scrap yards and recycling centers; both of which operate on their own schedules. Additionally, patrons are required to transport and sort their scrap metals before they can be accepted.
As an alternative, Jiffy Junk’s scrap metal haulers provide on-site, hassle-free pick up of any of your unwanted materials whenever it’s most convenient for you. Click here to find a location nearest to you.
Metal salvage pickup professionals value copper as the highest-paid scrap metal. Copper is primarily found in electrical wiring, electromagnetic components, and plumbing. Because of its versatility and high-volume usage, it’s particularly sought-after among commonly scrapped metals. However, other materials such as brass and aluminum are also highly-valued for metal recycle pick up due to their renewability.
Metal-based materials such as paint cans, motor oil cans, pots and pans, and propane gas tanks cannot be recycled because of their potential toxicity, hence the reason you should never add them to your recycling bin. Instead, they should be disposed of at a hazardous waste depot.
Rest assured with our scrap metal haulers - Jiffy Junk is committed to ensuring the environmentally-friendly disposal of all items we come across.
Yes, metals that are not recycled are considered hazardous waste. In fact, some scrap metals contain components such as electronics, appliances, or even vehicles fall into the hazardous waste category. The chemicals from these metal products can seep into the soil of a landfill and contaminate it. To curtail this, call a professional metal scrap pick up service like Jiffy Junk.
There are a few options to look into when you're trying to dispose of unwanted metal products. For example, scrap metal can be brought to scrap yards. This, of course, requires a bit more time and work put in than many folks have to spare.

Scrap Metal Removal, Done For You
Scrap metal removal is one of the harder jobs in junk hauling to get done well. Most haulers refuse heavy loads or expect you to sort everything before they show up. Scrap yards run on their schedule, not yours, and ask you to transport, weigh, and unload the metal yourself. That works if you own a pickup truck and have a free morning.
Our service runs on the opposite premise: you shouldn’t lift a piece. Licensed, insured Jiffy Junk crews arrive in your scheduled window, work through every space from upstairs bedrooms to crawlspaces, sort mixed loads as we go, and route every salvageable item to a certified recycler or donation partner. Most residential jobs finish in under an hour. The industry classifies what we handle as recyclable scrap material. We just call it the stuff you want gone.
What we pick up
- Residential: refrigerators, washers, dryers, water heaters, dishwashers, microwaves, gas grills, depressurized propane tanks, swing sets, trampoline frames, bicycles, metal shelving, exercise equipment, fencing, old gutters, and patio furniture.
- Commercial and contractor: copper wiring and pipe, HVAC ductwork, AC condensers, electric motors, rebar, structural steel offcuts, aluminum siding, brass fittings, stainless restaurant equipment, machine-shop turnings, and fabrication scrap.
If your job runs mostly to old appliances, our appliance pickup service sends the same crew with the same playbook.
“Most customers ask if they need to separate copper from steel, drain refrigerants, or strip wires before we show up. The answer is no. That part is our job. Last quarter, one of our Long Island crews pulled 2,400 pounds of mixed contractor scrap out of a single garage in 78 minutes. The homeowner watched the whole job from the porch. After more than a decade of running these jobs across the country, my biggest takeaway is this: metal is never the hard part. The customers who hesitate to call us have already convinced themselves they have to handle it on their own. We’ve never asked them to.”

7 Essential Resources for Scrap Metal Recycling
Want to see what happens to the metal we haul away? Here are seven sources we trust on scrap recycling, each from a different organization. Pick whichever ones matter to you.
- EPA: Ferrous Metals Material-Specific Data. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s data hub for how steel and iron flow through the U.S. waste stream, with recycling rates broken out by product category. The page to read when you want federal numbers. Source: epa.gov/facts-and-figures-about-materials-waste-and-recycling/ferrous-metals-material-specific-data
- OSHA: Scrap Metal Recycling Safety Guidance. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s page on hazards in metal scrap handling. Worth reading if you’ve ever considered scrap work yourself, since it explains why we send licensed crews. Source: osha.gov/green-jobs/recycling/scrap-metal
- Recycled Materials Association (ReMA): Our Impact. Formerly ISRI. This trade association tracks the scrap recycling industry’s economic and environmental footprint with state-by-state breakdowns. Source: recycledmaterials.org/our-impact
- American Iron and Steel Institute: Recycling. The U.S. steel industry’s official recycling overview, including the data behind steel being North America’s most-recycled material. Source: steel.org/sustainability/recycling
- The Aluminum Association: Recycling. Industry data on why aluminum recycling saves up to 95% of the energy needed to produce new aluminum, plus residential and industrial recycling rates. Source: aluminum.org/Recycling
- Copper Development Association: Recycling. The U.S. copper industry’s reference page explaining why copper is the most-recycled engineering metal, and how scrap copper keeps nearly all of its primary-metal value. Source: copper.org/environment/lifecycle/g_recycl.html

3 Supporting Statistics That Matter
The numbers below show why we work so hard to keep metal out of landfills.
- 54% of discarded ferrous metal still ends up in U.S. landfills. The National Institute of Standards and Technology reports that despite steel and iron being among the most recyclable materials on the planet, more than half of the ferrous metal Americans throw out is never recovered. Source: nist.gov — Circular Economy: Recycling.
- Recycling aluminum saves 95.5% of the energy used in primary production. The International Aluminium Institute’s life-cycle data shows recycled aluminum needs roughly 8.3 gigajoules per tonne versus 186 for new aluminum mined and refined from bauxite ore. Source: international-aluminium.org.
- 3.7 million tons of recycled U.S. aluminum saves enough electricity to power roughly 8 million homes a year. The American Geosciences Institute attributes that household-equivalent figure to U.S. Geological Survey and Department of Energy data. Source: americangeosciences.org.
Every refrigerator, copper wire bundle, or patio set we pick up is one more piece of that 54% kept out of the ground.
Final Thoughts: Our Take
After more than a decade of pulling metal out of homes, job sites, and small businesses, here’s where we’ve landed. Landfills are the worst possible destination for a refrigerator, a copper pipe, or a steel shed. The metal in those items can be melted and reused without losing quality. The energy savings are measurable. So is the environmental impact. What stops most people from recycling scrap is convenience.
Most folks skip scrap metal recycling because the easier route is the curb or a contractor’s mixed-debris bin. Scrap yards exist, but they take time, transport, and effort most people would rather spend somewhere else. Full-service pickup should be the standard option, in our view, not a premium add-on. Yes, you’re paying for the convenience. You’re also paying for a crew that knows ferrous from non-ferrous, follows local hauling rules, and routes every load to a real recycler instead of a landfill. That’s the difference between booking us and renting a trailer for a free Saturday.
We’re not happy, until you are happy. And we’re not happy when good metal goes in a landfill, either.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I dispose of scrap metal near me?
You can drop scrap metal at licensed scrap yards or municipal recycling centers. Both run on their own schedules and require you to transport, sort, and unload everything yourself. Or you can book a Jiffy Junk pickup. We come to you, sort on-site, and load the metal ourselves while you stay inside.
Do you offer free scrap metal pickup?
No. Jiffy Junk is a paid full-service scrap metal removal company. Some scrap yards and independent haulers will pick up high-value metal like copper for free in exchange for the salvage value. The catch is you sort, prep, and stage everything yourself, and they only take what’s profitable. We pick up the full mix of high-value and low-value metal, load it ourselves, sweep up afterward, and route every piece to a recycler. You pay for the convenience and the certainty.
How much does scrap metal removal cost?
Pricing is based on volume, meaning how much space the metal takes up in our truck. Difficult removals like basements, second floors, or demolition jobs add labor cost. Before we start, you receive an upfront, all-inclusive quote covering labor, hauling, disposal, and recycling. Most residential scrap jobs run between an eighth and a half of a truck load. Larger contractor or estate work may need a full load or multiple trucks.
Do I need to sort or separate my scrap metal before pickup?
No. Our crews sort mixed loads on-site as we load them. Hand us a pile of mixed steel, aluminum, copper, and brass, and we’ll route each piece to the right recycling stream. The only prep we ask for is making sure propane tanks are depressurized and refrigerator doors are secured for safe transport. If you’re unsure about anything, mention it when you book and we’ll walk you through it.
What is the highest-paid scrap metal?
Copper is typically the highest-value scrap metal. You find it in electrical wiring, electromagnetic components, plumbing, and HVAC line sets. Brass and aluminum also command strong prices because they’re infinitely recyclable. Even so, scrap-yard value is only one factor. For most homeowners, the time and effort of sorting and transporting metal outweighs the payout.
Are metal scraps hazardous?
Yes. Metal that isn’t properly recycled can be classified as hazardous waste. Some scrap items contain refrigerants, oils, lead-acid batteries, or chemical coatings that can leach into landfill soil and contaminate groundwater. That’s why we follow EPA and OSHA-aligned handling procedures and route hazardous components to the proper disposal facilities.
Can you pick up scrap metal from a commercial job site or business?
Yes. We work with contractors, mechanic shops, restaurants replacing equipment, machine shops with offcuts, property managers, and industrial facilities across the country. For ongoing or recurring work, we can set up a regular pickup schedule. Call our commercial team to arrange site visits and volume pricing.
What does Jiffy Junk do with the scrap metal after pickup?
Our crews sort every piece on-site, then route it to a certified recycling partner. When an item is still usable, we send it to a donation partner instead. Metal that lands in a landfill is a failure for everyone. The customer paid for nothing, the planet loses a recyclable resource, and a recycler misses out on raw material. Our goal on every job is zero scrap to landfill.
