THE SPEED ANGLE

The yard costs you half a day. This costs you a phone call.

  • The yard routine: drive there, wait in line, unload, wait for the scale, wait for the ticket, wait at the office, take the check. Your time has a price too.
  • The fast path: one call, one drop-off, one payment. That is the whole process.
  • Have your material ready: a photo, a rough weight, and a quick description get you the fastest quote.
  • Small lots welcome: a single bucket is enough. No minimums — every bucket counts.
  • Bigger lots: call first and we will talk pickup. On bigger lots, we handle the freight so you do not lift a finger.
  • Quick payment once your lot settles: check, wire, or cash. No waiting on a corporate check run.
  • One person answers: Sonny Johns at 312-880-8174. The person who quotes you is the person who pays you.
  • Bring a photo ID — scrap buyers are required to record seller identification in most states.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Asked by workers holding this material.

Where can I sell scrap copper fast?

Right here. Text a photo of your material to 312-880-8174, get a fast quote, drop it off, and get paid quick. No yard line, no ticket window, no half-day gone.

How fast will I get paid?

Quick — by check, wire, or cash once your lot settles. There is no 30-day wait and no corporate check run to sit behind.

Do I need an appointment to drop off?

Call or text ahead at 312-880-8174 so we know you are coming. That keeps your visit to minutes instead of a morning.

What do I need to bring?

Your material and a photo ID — scrap buyers are required to record seller identification in most states. A rough weight estimate helps the quote but is not required.

Can I sell without going to a scrap yard?

Yes — that is the whole point. You deal directly with the buyer: one call, one drop-off, one payment. No yard, no line, no scale house.

Is there a minimum amount to sell?

No. No minimums — every bucket counts. A single bucket of cutoffs gets a fast quote just like a truckload does.
