A Few Things to Keep in Mind with Scrap Metal Dumpster Service

Size Matters for Efficiency

Choose a dumpster size based on the type and volume of scrap you generate. Dense metals fill by weight, not space, so even a small container can reach tonnage limits quickly.

Know Your Scrap Metal Types

Separate ferrous and non-ferrous metals whenever possible. Clean, sorted scrap often brings higher value and speeds up processing at facilities.

Plan for Safe Placement

Ensure there’s enough room for the roll-off truck to deliver and pick up the container. Reinforced surfaces are best for heavy metal loads.

Remove Contaminants Before Disposal

Items with oils, fuels, insulation, refrigerants, or electronics may need prep work before being placed in a metal-only dumpster.

Schedule Pick-Ups Ahead of Time

If your facility generates ongoing scrap, setting up recurring service prevents overflow, keeps your operation clean, and supports better workflow.

Consider Security

Scrap metal theft is common. Locking areas, cameras, or after-hours pickup can help protect high-value metals.

What We Accept in Our Metals-Only Dumpsters

Steel, iron, and ferrous metals

We take all grades of ferrous metals generated during demolition, fabrication, or manufacturing. This includes steel plate, rebar, beams, machine turnings, stamping scrap, and mixed heavy melt produced during routine facility operations.

Copper, brass, and aluminum

High-value non-ferrous metals are accepted in both clean and mixed forms, including copper wire, bus bar, tubing, brass fittings, and aluminum extrusions or sheet. These items are common in electrical work, plumbing upgrades, and production environments.

Stainless steel

We accept stainless steel in all forms—304, 316, and other alloys—including food-grade equipment, manufacturing scrap, commercial kitchen tear-downs, tanks, and sheet/pipe offcuts from fabrication shops.

Cast iron

Ideal for shops and industrial facilities, we accept cast iron pipes, grates, radiators, machinery bases, and heavy parts removed during equipment replacements or mechanical system upgrades.

Machinery and equipment

Industrial equipment made primarily of metal—such as presses, conveyors, production lines, pumps, motors, and machine components—can be placed in our dumpsters for proper recycling. (Fluids must be drained prior to disposal.)

HVAC units, piping, ductwork

From RTUs to chillers, condensers, and metal ducting, we accept most HVAC components removed during system replacements. Units should be free of refrigerant per EPA regulations prior to disposal.

Metal racking, shelving, fixtures

Warehouse upgrades often generate large volumes of steel racks, pallet racking, shelving systems, and steel fixtures—all of which are accepted and easily handled in our roll-off metal recycling dumpsters.

Structural steel and beams

We take structural members—including I-beams, channels, joists, and steel framing—produced during commercial renovation, tenant-fit outs, and industrial demolition projects.
