and Batteries

Recycle your metals and batteries and earn money! Bring your metals to the yard and we’ll recycle it for you. We will pay you for the non-ferrous metals you drop off. By recycling metals, you can divert valuable materials from the landfill and reduce the amount of ore mining needed throughout the world. Recyclable metals include but are not limited to scrap metals like copper, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and lead. We also accept lead acid batteries (like those from a vehicle), electric motors, transformers, taps and faucets, and more!

Batteries

lead acid battery recycling (like a car battery)

We will purchase your lead acid batteries. Generally, these are batteries from vehicles, but include any that have a Pb symbol (identifying them as lead). If you have numerous batteries, please secure them on a pallet, which will allow for timely offloading.

>> We will pay 20% more for batteries that are palletized, and are secure for shipping.

A cardboard layer needs to be inserted on the bottom and top of each battery layer. They can be stacked on a pallet 3 layers high (roughly 3 feet tall). Palletized batteries can be secured with skid wrap, banding, or go in a crate.' (see image below)
