Smart Recycling FAQ

How do I know if Smart Recycling will take my metals?

The most prevalent metals approved by scrap yards include copper, steel, aluminum, brass, iron and insulated wires of all variations. That said, your town’s scrap yard may accept additional metals for recycling and offer you cash payouts for your scrap metals. If you are not sure what you have or what you should do, contact Smart Recycling and we’ll have a friendly professional reply to all your questions for you.

What varieties of metals do I have?

When you are trying to recycle scrap metal it is very critical to distinguish what kind of metal you possess. The easiest way to determine what type of metal you’re dealing with is to make use of a magnet. If the magnet stays to your metal, you’ve got a ferrous metal in your hands, such as steel or iron.
If the magnet doesn’t stick, you have a non-ferrous metal, such as copper, aluminum, brass, stainless steel or bronze. These metals tend to be more important to companies like Smart Recycling.
From there, you can distinguish color, texture and other simple methods to figure out precisely what category of metal you are dealing with. If you are still unclear, call us and we will be glad to aid you in any way we can.

Will SRI provide me with the over all size and quantity of containers necessary for picking up scrap?

Absolutely. Not only does Smart Recycling furnish containers for continuous generated scrap, we will also provide you with custom sized bins of any size to support handling and sorting needs.

How is the cost per pound determined and managed for present and upcoming purchases?

Almost all metal prices are set upon market conditions daily. The technique mainly used by Smart Recycling is centered on the published Metal Market Report found in the American Market Journal; which may be provided if need be. Utilizing this report as a guide, an agreed upon margin of plus or minus published rates can be set for all future purchases.

Once we call for pick up, how much time is going to it take for the actual pick up of our metals?

If a call for collection is received before 10am of any weekday there is a very good possibility of receiving same day services. However, all service calls received will be satisfied no later than next day guaranteed. Special need circumstances are managed expeditiously.

How soon will we have payment after ananlysis, weigh in and pick up?

It is exclusively at the discretion of the agent representing its business, often, payments are produced within a thirty-day period of receiving scrap metal. However, Smart Recycling will pay out for all agreements inside the time period specified by our clients.

How long has your firm been around?

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