We serve customers in New Jersey and Delaware, along with parts of Pennsylvania, Long Island and Staten Island, New York. Our customers can choose the scrap options that are most convenient for them and receive prompt compensation.
The Value of Scrapping Steel
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), 4.7 million tons of ferrous metals (steel and iron) are recycled every year. Scrapping steel parts and the other metals we buy allows them to be crafted into new items and reused over again. This process helps conserve valuable energy and eliminate waste.
Recycling steel is very important to the environment, but acting responsibly is advantageous for you, as well. The benefits of scrapping steel materials include:
- Maximizing storage space: Unused steel generally comes in the form of large appliances that can take up a lot of room in your garage or a landfill. By discarding unused steel items, you can free up some excess storage space and find ways to better utilize it.
- Compensation: Clients who take their metals to a scrap dealer will be paid directly. The amount each customer receives depends on several factors, such as the type of metal and how much is scrapped. Sgt. Scrap proudly offers its clients the most current competitive prices for all scrap materials.
Where to Look for Scrap Steel
Because of its high strength and durability, and relatively low cost, steel is a commonly used material in a wide range of items. Locating scrap steel can be simple if you know where to search. Some common places to find scrap steel include:
- Garages and sheds: When looking for scrap metal, you may not have to travel far. Home garages and sheds may be harboring loads of steel just waiting to be recycled. Broken automobiles, outdated appliances, and old tools all are good sources of scrap metal often found in or around the home.
- Construction sites: With steel having strong properties, it is a common material used to erect buildings and other structures. Scrap steel can be found on most construction and renovation sites. With permission, you may be allowed to take excess steel off someone else’s hands. This can include screws, bolts, and other miscellaneous items.
- Dumpsters: Not everyone recycles scrap metal, and it’s often tossed out instead. Many customers find steel in dumpsters, by the curb, and in other trash areas.
Please note: If you plan to browse through trash areas for scrap metal, be sure to receive permission and wear the proper protective gear.
