This is the scrap that a magnet sticks to.

When you arrive at our yard we will put your scrap metal into 4 basic categories. The better it is segregated the better the price we can pay you.

This category is for scrap that can go straight into our shredder

84 in width limit
3/16 in thick limit unless it is car parts ( no heavy truck parts )
Autos and car parts ( only if fuel tank removed or 12 x 12 hole) 4 mounted tire limit per car
1 ton and smaller trucks ( only if fuel tank removed or 12 x 12 hole) 4 mounted tire limit
Auto engines and drive line components
Loose tin, appliances, sheet iron, misc thin scrap metal

Autos with fuel tanks ( They still have to have a hole in bottom )
Trucks 1 ½ ton and larger ( They still have to have a hole in bottom )
Too small a hole or no hole in tank will result in a 40.00 deduction, for liquid desposal
Propane tanks without valve or large hole
Loose gas tanks with 12 x 12 hole, no liquids
School buses
Delivery vans
Dump trucks ( they still have to have a 12 x 12 hole in the tank )

This is a catch all for items we have a hard time processing
