• Copper wire and cable — bare bright, insulated, Romex, THHN, service cable, any gauge.
• Copper solids — pipe, tubing, bus bar, sheet, flashing, gutters.
• Brass and bronze — fittings, valves, meters, fixtures, machinery parts.
• Carbide tooling and scrap — inserts, end mills, drills, brazed tooling.
• Electrical equipment — panels, breakers, transformers, motors, disconnects.
• Aluminum and steel — from tear-outs and cleanouts, when it rides with the good stuff.

You don’t need to sort before we arrive. Sorted loads earn their grade — we’ll tell you honestly what the split would change.

How fast is scrap metal pickup in Chicago?

Same day. Call or text photos in the morning and the pile is typically gone before the day ends — anywhere in the Chicago area.

Is there a minimum pickup size?

No minimum. One coil of wire or a full trailer — if it’s worth a phone call, it’s worth a pickup. Bigger loads just get priority scheduling.

How does payment work on pickup?

We weigh the material in front of you and pay within 24–48 hours — no net-30, no paperwork games.

Do I have to sort the material first?

No. Sorted loads earn their grade and we’ll always tell you what sorting would gain you, but we’ll buy it mixed and handle the sorting ourselves.

What areas do you cover?

Same-day pickup is a Chicago promise — city and suburbs. Beyond that, for the right load we travel anywhere; send photos and ask.
