Scrap metal is the one category where the load can pay for itself. Because a scrap yard pays by weight rather than charging by volume, a clean metal load prices well below mixed junk, and a large enough clean load of steel or a run of copper can come out at no charge at all. That is worth knowing before you throw an old swing set in with the household junk and pay the mixed rate on all of it.
Metal we collect
- Appliances, water heaters and HVAC units
- Steel pipe, angle, sheet and structural offcuts
- Copper wire, tube and radiators
- Aluminum siding, guttering, window frames and cans
- Farm scrap, implements, tanks and fencing wire
- Exercise equipment, swing sets, grills and bicycles
When pickup is free
- The load is clean metal with no mixed household waste through it
- The volume is enough to justify a truck, roughly a half load or more
- Access allows a truck to get within reasonable carrying distance
- Copper and aluminum quantities shift this threshold quickly
What this costs in Amarillo
Single items normally fall into the minimum load or 1/8 truck bracket. Larger jobs price by the fraction of the truck they fill. Every bracket is published on the pricing page, and the quote you get on the driveway is the number you pay.
Questions people actually ask
Will you pay me for my scrap?
On large clean loads of higher value metal, sometimes. On typical household scrap the yard value does not cover the labor, so the honest answer is that it makes the job cheaper rather than profitable. We will tell you which side of that line your load falls on.
Does mixing metal with other junk matter?
Yes, a lot. Once metal is mixed through household waste it all prices as mixed waste. Keeping it in a separate pile is worth doing before we arrive.
Can you take a vehicle or engine block?
Engine blocks, transmissions and parts yes. A complete vehicle needs a title and goes through a licensed auto recycler instead.
Do you do farm and ranch scrap outside the city?
Yes, across Potter, Randall and the surrounding counties. Rural jobs are scheduled on route days so you are not paying for the drive.
