What we do not take
We buy 26 kinds of scrap metal. We do not take propane tanks or gas bottles, and a few items need one step before they come in.
Propane tanks and gas bottles
We do not take propane tanks or gas bottles. A propane conversion on a scrap vehicle needs its tank removed first.
Fridges, freezers and air conditioners
Fridges, freezers, air conditioners, dehumidifiers and heat pumps must be free of refrigerant before they come in. Have it recovered by a certified technician, and never release it yourself. Then bring the appliance whole. See scrap appliances.
Scrap cars
Bring the vehicle, your ID and its paperwork, and take out your belongings and the plates. See the scrap autos guide.
Lead-acid batteries
Keep them upright, with the caps on. See lead-acid batteries.
Catalytic converters
Bring converters down whole, with your ID and source records. See catalytic converters.
Electronics
E-waste is accepted for free. Wipe your data first. See electronic scrap.
X-ray scrap
Keep it covered. See x-ray scrap.
