At TruGreen Metal Recycling we pay upfront cash for your scrap metal. How much we pay depends on the following factors:

• Amount: There must be enough material to cover the minimum costs of doing the cleanup. More volume = better price.


• Type of material: Metal is sold by product type and grade and different types require more or less processing to get them loaded and sold.


• Accessibility:  Is the material all in one area? Is it spread out over 3 sections? Is it in the bush? etc. The amount of time a cleanup will take factors in greatly when doing a quote for your scrap. For example 50 tons all in a row will go for quite a bit more than 50 tons spread out over 25 miles and 4 yards.


• Freight:  Distance to the nearest mill where the material will be delivered affects the price we can pay for the scrap.

Once the estimator has factored in these variables, they will cut a check to you the same day. When the crews arrive, they will load the equipment into super b scrap trailers using a skid steer and an excavator with a demo grapple and a magnet and haul the scrap metal away.

Some scrap metal companies leave behind non-metallic debris, bits of metal and tires scattered all over your yard. Although it is unavoidable to have some debris in the removal process, the respectful TruGreen Metal Recycling staff will neatly pile the debris for you to dispose of.

On most jobs, we do not do any torching or cutting on your land. In the rare case when it is required we have proper protocols in place to ensure we mitigate any risk of fire.

We are in and out in one day on most jobs, and once you do a thorough walk around with our crew when they arrive they’ve got it from there so we don’t have to tie up any more of your time until the final walk around at the end of the job.
