Ferrous vs. Non-Ferrous — What's the Difference

Not all metal is the same at the scrap yard. Here's a quick guide to what you likely have.

🧲 Ferrous (Iron-Based)

Magnetic. Lower scrap value. Still recyclable.

Steel shelving and racks
Old appliances (washers, dryers)
Metal bed frames
Cast iron items

✨ Non-Ferrous (Copper, Aluminum, Brass)

Non-magnetic. Higher scrap value.

Copper pipe and wiring
Aluminum window frames
Brass fixtures and valves
Aluminum patio furniture

We take it all — sorted or mixed

If you've already separated your metals, great. If it's all in a pile, we handle that too. Everything goes to recyclers where accepted — the scrap yard sorts it from there.

Why Junk Doctors

Why Customers Choose Us

Scrap Metal Can't Go in Your Bin

Most municipal trash and recycling programs don't accept scrap metal — especially heavy items like cast iron tubs, fencing, and large equipment. It has to go to a certified facility, and getting it there requires the right truck and crew.

Certified Recycling Where Available

We work with certified local recycling facilities where available to process scrap metal responsibly. Every load is documented through proper channels.

Same-Day Available — Call Before 3 PM

Call before 3 PM and we can usually be there the same day. Scrap metal jobs are often straightforward once we know what we're looking at — pile in the yard, fencing already cut down, old equipment staged in the driveway. Tell us what you have and we'll tell you if same-day works.

Price Is Based on Volume and Weight

We look at the load before we quote. A pile of aluminum gutters prices differently than a cast iron tub or a stack of steel shelving. We give you a firm number on-site before anything gets loaded. What's on the quote is on the receipt.

Simple Process

FAQ

Questions Answered.

Do you pay me for scrap metal? +

No. We charge for the labor and hauling — the same as any other removal job. If you have a very large commercial load, call for a custom quote and we can discuss pricing.

What types of scrap metal do you accept? +

We take most common metals — steel, iron, aluminum, copper, and cast iron. If you have something unusual, give us a call and describe what you have. We handle the majority of residential and light commercial scrap.

Can you remove heavy cast iron items like bathtubs and radiators? +

Yes. Cast iron tubs and radiators are some of the most common items we remove. They require the right crew and equipment to move safely, which is exactly what we bring.

What happens to the scrap metal after pickup? +

Scrap metal is sent to certified local recycling facilities where it is processed and kept out of landfills. Nothing usable gets wasted.

Do you handle commercial scrap metal jobs? +

Yes. We work with contractors, property managers, and businesses that need regular or one-time scrap hauls. Call for a custom quote on larger commercial volumes.
