- KBKevin BeswickOct 25, 20251.0Guy was very rude, told me I didn't weigh my truck, which I did I even took a picture of the weight. Insisted on only giving me 200 pounds of light metal receipt. Definitely won't go back there. I dont the exact weight I had but I can definitely say it was more then that. 3 old heavy duty canopies... a 5 gallon bucket of screws and a workout bike and 2 old pool filter motors and some other odds and ends gave me 15$

- DBDennis BohnerAug 28, 20255.0First time going there today. Best prices and awesome service. Will scrap there again.
- NNNickAug 20, 20255.0These guys are awesome. I don't scrap often but when I do they always help me out when I'm unsure of what type of metal I have. The staff is friendly and helpful and while I'm no expert the prices they pay seem extremely competitive compared to the other yards around me.
Frequently Asked Questions About Sgt. Scrap
Do you accept Ferrous and Non-Ferrous Metals?
One of the most common distinctions of scrap metal is between ferrous and non-ferrous metals. At Sgt. Scrap, we are happy to accept various kinds of both metals. The easiest way to differentiate the two categories is by terms of iron. For example, non-ferrous metals do not contain iron while ferrous metals do. Metals containing iron tend to be stronger and more durable and metals with no iron are usually softer and more malleable. Some further properties of ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metal include:
What are Ferrous Metals?
These types of scrap metal tend to contain various alloying elements, such as chromium, nickel, molybdenum, vanadium, and manganese. These elements are what make ferrous metal a perfect material for engineering applications. Since these metals also contain iron, they are strong and typically magnetic, making them ideal for the construction of long-lasting skyscrapers, tools, vehicle engines, pipelines, containers, automobiles, and cutlery.
What are Non-Ferrous Metals?
All pure metal forms, except for pure iron, are non-ferrous. Since non-ferrous metals do not contain iron, they are easier to weld and fabricate. Many non-ferrous metals are used for industrial and aesthetic purposes. These metals also tend to be corrosion-resistant with low density and feature great thermal and electrical conductivity.
What Specific Types of Scrap Metal Will You Buy?
Whether you have ferrous or non-ferrous metals, we are happy to buy your scrap metal and repurpose it for countless applications. The types of metal that we accept include:

Aluminum: We are glad to take your scrap aluminum, including, washers and dryers, outdoor furniture with aluminum framing, and even old bicycles. Aluminum is a ferrous metal and has many recyclable uses.
Stainless Steel: Since stainless steel is heat-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and easy to clean, it is a popular material in many industries, like medical and food services. Stainless steel is a ferrous metal and can be reused in manufacturing and industrial processes.
Steel: A commonly recycled ferrous metal is steel. We accept steel from items like rotors and drums, complete cars, and cast iron.
Brass: We accept various types of scrap brass from doorknobs, bullet casings, and old air-conditioning units. Brass is a non-ferrous metal that has several uses in many home furnishings, such as light fixtures and bed frames.
