Sell Your Scrap Metal in Melrose Park

Tungsten carbide scrap

Production machine shops in Melrose Park go through serious carbide — inserts, end mills, drills, wear parts. We buy it by the pound at top-of-market prices and pay on the spot.

Copper wire & cable

Industrial rewires, panel upgrades, and contractor pulls — Romex, THHN, tray cable, busbar, transformer windings. Clean or mixed, any quantity.

Brass scrap

Turnings and borings from Melrose Park shops, plus fittings, valves, and meters from mechanical work — graded by type, never lumped.

Melrose Park’s factories don’t slow down, and neither does their scrap. Machine shops here run production work that eats carbide inserts and end mills; the industrial buildings get rewired and retrofitted; mechanical contractors pull brass out of the Village’s older building stock every week. That material has real value — but only if it goes to a buyer who grades it right instead of paying one blended number.

We drive down from Rolling Meadows for same-day pickup across Melrose Park. Shops with drums of used tooling, contractors with truck beds of pulled wire, plants clearing out surplus — text a photo, get a number today, and we’ll come get it.

Do you buy turnings with coolant on them?

Drain them first. Keep carbide and brass turnings in their own containers, drained of coolant or oil, and free of steel or aluminum chips — that’s what gets you top grade.

Do you pick up in Melrose Park?

Yes — same-day pickup across the Chicago area, including Melrose Park. Text a photo to 312-880-8174 in the morning and we’ll schedule it the same day.

How do I get today’s price?

Text a photo of your pile to 312-880-8174 and we’ll tell you what grade it is and what we’re paying today — same day, no games. We don’t publish per-pound prices because the market moves too fast for that.

Do I need an ID to sell scrap in Illinois?

Yes. Illinois law requires scrap buyers to record a photo ID for every purchase. Bring a valid ID — that’s the whole paperwork side of the deal.

Do you buy from factories, not just shops?

Yes — manufacturers, fabricators, and plants. If you’re clearing out surplus tooling, drops, or electrical, we’ll look at the whole lot.
