Metal Salvage

We take great pride in our extensive metal salvage capabilities. When we take down projects of any size, we don’t just generate piles of debris - we reduce buildings into component parts and treat them as assets, not junk. As materials get more expensive, recycling has grown more lucrative. We have a large network of buyers and we can move your materials fast!


Metal salvage comes naturally for us. One of our specialties has always been careful and effective recycling work. When we evaluate any potential job, we’re not just looking at safety and logistics - we also consider the value of the onsite materials and challenges of extracting them. Our team has years of hands-on experience taking down even the hugest commercial and industrial projects safely, efficiently and profitably. In recent years, changing state laws and higher disposal fees have forced the demolition industry to get more creative, and our extensive experience with materials recycling has given us an edge!

Dealing with the aftermath of a demolition project is intense, demanding work. Approaching the job from a recycling perspective can transform expenses into profits, though. People usually associate the scrap metal business with pipes and wires, but in reality, some of the biggest headaches in a demolition job are valuable assets to metal buyers. Huge infrastructure machinery like cooling towers, heat exchangers, boilers, electric motors, pumps, and transformers are all sought after sources for raw metal.

Metal salvage is just a part of our process. These days, demolition work involves a combination of meticulous workplace safety, expert structural assessment and top-notch technology. We also bring our salvage experience and friendly staff into the mix to provide you with the finest service available. The result is a smooth process that can transform your real estate problems into a fast-moving project that enhances your bottom line.

There is a constant demand for scrap metals and thanks to our reliable methods and careful materials prep work, we’ve got a great relationship with buyers throughout the area and beyond. Metal recycling has become a global market, and it’s one we know how to negotiate to get our customers the best prices available.

Let us discuss the metal salvage possibilities with you. Turn your copper, aluminum, steel, brass and other valuable resources into cost savings.

Demolition is about more than a wrecking ball these days. Today aluminum, copper and steel recycling are growing in popularity. Millions of tons of perfectly usable metal have been kept out of the landfill in recent years because of the green demolition movement. It is good for the environment and will help a company maintain an environmentally friendly profile in the community.

Trust us for sound advice and efficient work. When you call us, we do not send you a salesman; we send an expert in construction, logistics, safety and law. They will be able to answer detailed questions and walk you through multiple options.

We can also give you a baseline assessment of the materials you have got onsite. You may be amazed how much metal is hidden inside your problem property!

Metal salvage is demanding work. You do not want your demolition contractor to be doing on the job learning at your expense. Our expert team of courteous professionals knows how to handle any challenge and they have got the technology at their disposal to make it happen as fast as possible.
