Buying Scrap Metal Since 1979 — Three Generations Deep
The Yard That Pays You Right And Treats You Like A Regular
Most scrap yards make you wait, lowball you on grades, or act like they're doing you a favor. We built this business on the opposite: honest weights on certified scales, fair market prices posted daily, and cash in your hand before you pull out of the lot.
That approach has kept us running for 47 years and growing to six locations across Maryland and Pennsylvania. Whether you're a homeowner cleaning out the garage or a demo contractor running 40-yard loads every week, you get the same thing here: fast service, a fair shake, and people who actually know metal.
Homeowner or Contractor — We've Got You Covered
Every Way We Buy Your Scrap Metal
Walk-In Scrap Drop Off
Pull up to any of our six yards. We unload it, weigh it on certified scales, and hand you cash. No appointment, no minimum, no waiting around. In and out in minutes.
Commercial and Contractor Accounts
We work with demolition crews, HVAC companies, electricians, and plumbers who generate scrap regularly. Bring it in by the truckload — we handle the heavy stuff and keep your turnaround fast.
Roll-Off Container Delivery
We drop a container at your job site and pick it up when it's full. 20 and 40-yard options available. You fill it, we haul it, you get paid. Perfect for demo sites and ongoing projects.
We Come To You — Box Truck Pickup
Got a pile of scrap but no way to haul it? We send a box truck to your location, load it up, and cut you a check. Ideal for shops, warehouses, and cleanout jobs.
Cash Today, Not Next Week
Every transaction ends with money in your hand the same day. We don't mail checks, we don't make you wait. You unload, we weigh, you get paid. Period.
People Who Actually Know Metal
Our yard crews grade and sort on sight. They know the difference between #1 and #2 copper, can spot Inconel from stainless, and won't lowball you because they can't identify what you brought in.
Cleaning out the garage? Stripping a renovation? Running a demo crew? It doesn't matter how much or how little you've got — we buy it all and pay you the same day. Get Your Free Quote
Transparent Pricing. Honest Weights. No Games.
What We Buy And How We Grade It
Structural Steel
Beams, channels, plates, angle iron, and everything coming off your demo site. We have the equipment to handle the heavy stuff so you don't wreck your back.
Pickup truck or 18-wheeler — same fair price per pound. Our scales are certified and visible so you see exactly what your load weighs.

Beams and Channels

Sheet Metal and Plate

Rebar and Angle Iron
Cast Iron
Engine blocks, cast iron pipes, old bathtubs, machinery housings, brake rotors — bring the heavy stuff. We've got magnets, forklifts, and a crew that can handle it.
We separate cast iron from mixed ferrous loads on the spot so you get the right grade and the right price. No lumping everything into one low number.

Copper — Where The Real Money Is
Bare bright, #1 copper, #2 copper, copper tubing, and copper wire. We pay top market rates and grade every piece individually — your clean copper doesn't get mixed in with your #2.
Electricians and plumbers make serious money here. One load of clean copper can pay for a week of gas. We'll show you exactly how we grade it and why.

Aluminum — Every Grade, Any Quantity
Cans, sheet, extrusions, cast aluminum, litho plates, aluminum wire, window frames, gutters — we take it all. Sorted by grade for maximum payout, not bulk-priced like some yards do.
Bring a garbage bag of cans or a trailer full of storm door frames. We pay the same fair rate per pound either way.

Lead-Acid Batteries
Car batteries, truck batteries, forklift batteries, UPS systems — stop throwing money in the trash. Every dead battery has recoverable lead and we pay cash for every one.
We handle all the heavy lifting and ensure environmentally responsible disposal. Just drop them at the gate and get paid.

Automotive Batteries

Industrial Batteries

Equipment Batteries
Stainless Steel
Restaurant equipment, medical fixtures, industrial fittings, sinks, tanks — 304, 316, and mixed stainless all get sorted and priced by grade. Most yards lump it all together. We don't.
Stainless is worth significantly more than mild steel. If you're not getting it separated and priced correctly, you're leaving money on the table.

Hear It From The People Who Haul Here Every Week
"Fast, efficient, and friendly service every time I visit."
It's my go-to when I need to unload metal and get some cash. The people are great and the whole process takes maybe 10 minutes. Can't beat it.
"Extremely helpful staff and they took everything I had."
First time in with a mixed load — copper, steel, some aluminum. They sorted it all, explained the grades, and paid me more than I expected. Coming back for sure.
