We handle a variety of scrap metal in NJ to get the best return for you.

• Steel and Iron. Most buildings use these as the backbone of their structure. Ferrous materials, as they are referred to, are often melted down and made into new products. This is less costly than mining and processing new materials to work with, as well beneficial to the environment.
• Copper. Mostly found in coated wire and cable, as well as in plumbing and even occasionally in roofing. Copper fetches the highest price in the non ferrous, non precious market.
• Brass. Found mostly in decorative appointments like railings and light fixtures, it is a close second to copper in value.
• Aluminum. Used for window and door frames, siding, gutters, duct work, light poles and many other components of industrial and commercial structures. The market for recycled aluminum is very fluid because melting and reforming is much cheaper than mining and producing.
• Lead. This requires special recycling methods by a qualified company like ours.
• Tin. While it is still found, tin is not common in construction anymore.
• Bronze. Used in vintage and historic buildings for architectural accents and plaques. Bronze objects are generally preserved for reuse, as is, or for historic significance. They are rarely scrapped.
