Smart Recycling FAQ

What type of scrap metal will Smart Recycling accept?

The most prevalent metals approved by scrap yards include copper, steel, aluminum, brass, iron and wires of all kinds. Though, your town’s scrap yard could very well process additional metals for recycling and provide you cash payouts for your scrap metals. If you’re not sure what you have or what you will want to do, contact Smart Recycling and we’ll have a friendly professional answer every one of your questions for you.

How can I tell what type of metal I have?

When you’re looking to recycle scrap metal it is crucial to determine what type of metal you have. The easiest approach to determine what type of metal you’re dealing with is to use a magnet. If the magnet stays to your metal, you may have a ferrous metal in your hands, such as steel or iron.
If the magnet will not stick, you have a non-ferrous metal, such as copper, aluminum, brass, stainless steel or bronze. These metals are likely to be more valuable to businesses like Smart Recycling.
Then, you can use color, texture and consistency and other visual guidelines to figure out accurately what category of metal you are dealing with. If you’re still doubtful, contact us and we will be glad to aid you in any way we can.

Will SRI provide me with the size and number of containers appropriate for picking up scrap?

Certainly. Not only does Smart Recycling provide containers for steadily generated scrap, we will also supply you with custom sized bins of any size to accommodate handling and sorting needs.

What is the Cost Of Scrap Metal and how do you evaluate the cost?

Almost all metal prices are established upon marketplace conditions day-by-day. The method mainly employed by Smart Recycling is structured on the published Metal Market Report found in the American Market Journal; which will be provided if requested. Utilizing this system as a guide, an agreed upon margin of plus or minus published rates can be set for all foreseeable future purchases.

How quickly can Smart Reclycling pick up after we request your service?

When a request for collection is initiated before 10 a.m. of any weekday there exists a incredibly good chance of receiving same day service. However, all service calls received will be fulfilled no later than next day guaranteed. Unique scenarios are dealt with quickly.

How long have you been running your business?

Salvatore J. Russo established Smart Recycling as Russo Metal Company in 1978. In those days the focus was strictly industrial scrap. As time went by, the recycling unit was established, and after that surplus sales, then Dumpster rentals. In 1995 Russo Metal Co. was incorporated under the name Smart Recycling, short for Scrap Metal And Recycling Technologies.
