Scrap Metal Removal in Garner, NC Serving Wake & Johnston County

A pound of copper is worth more than almost any other common household scrap, but the exact price moves with the market and varies by yard and grade. Clean, bare copper pipe or wire pays the most, while insulated wire or copper with fittings attached pays less. Call a Wake or Johnston County scrap yard for today's rate. If you'd rather not strip and sort it, we'll haul it with the rest of your metal for recycling.

North Carolina regulates scrap metal sales to discourage theft. In general, scrap dealers must record each seller's identity and details of what they buy, and some metals carry extra restrictions. If you plan to sell scrap yourself, bring a photo ID and expect paperwork. For a specific legal question, ask the yard or your county sheriff's office. When we haul metal from properties in Wake & Johnston County, it goes to established recyclers.

Yes, often. Many scrap yards will accept metal at no cost and may even pay you for it, and some local scrappers will pick up appliances and metal piles for free. The catch is that you usually have to load and deliver it yourself, and yards may refuse certain items. If you have heavy, bulky or mixed metal on a Garner-area property, we'll lift it from wherever it sits for a flat price and recycle it.

It can be, if you have a lot of metal, especially copper, brass or aluminum, and a truck to haul it. For a few appliances or some old fencing, the payout is often small once you count fuel, time and sorting. Many homeowners in Wake & Johnston County decide a pickup is simpler: we load everything, including heavy pieces, and make sure it's recycled rather than landfilled.
