Closing a warehouse, clearing an old plant floor, or emptying a storage building in Chicago? Before you pay someone to haul it all away, sell the metal inside it. Ironcrest buys copper wire, cable, busbar, electrical panels, transformers, brass, and carbide tooling — same-day pickup, paid within 24–48 hours.
Old warehouses, plant floors, and storage buildings are full of metal that is worth real money. Here is what we come pick up:
Most cleanout companies charge you by the truckload — and keep the scrap value of everything they haul for themselves. Flip the order: sell the metal to Ironcrest first, then hire the hauler for what is left. The copper alone often covers the cost of the cleanout.
One call, one buyer, one pickup. Chicago piles gone same day, paid within 24–48 hours.
Anywhere in the Chicago area for same-day pickup. And if the load is big enough, we travel nationwide for the right load.
We buy the metal — that is what we come for. For everything else (trash, wood, general debris), we can point you to haulers, or our demolition partners handle full clear-outs.
Send photos anyway. If there is enough metal to make the trip worth it, we come sort it on site — you don’t need to separate anything first.
Chicago area: same day. Send photos in the morning and the pile can be gone by evening.
Paid within 24–48 hours when we pick up.
No. Leave everything as it sits — we handle the sorting, and we’ll tell you if anything needs a licensed electrician to disconnect first.
Same-day pickup across Chicago and the suburbs. For larger loads, we travel nationwide.
Every warehouse cleanout has two numbers: what the hauler charges you, and what the metal inside is worth. Sell the metal first and the second number usually beats the first.
