Smart Recycling FAQ

What kind of scrap metal will Smart Recycling pick up?

The most prevalent metals accepted by scrap yards include copper, steel, aluminum, brass, iron and wires of all variations. But, your town’s scrap yard will probably accept additional materials for recycling and give you cash payouts for your scrap metals. If you’re confused about what you have or what you should do, contact Smart Recycling and we will have a friendly specialist answer every one of your questions for you.

How to tell metals apart?

When you’re attempting to recycle scrap metal it’s crucial to distinguish what variations of metal you possess. The most basic method to determine what type of metal you’re dealing with is to apply a magnet. If the magnet sticks to your metal, you may have a ferrous metal in your possession, 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 are likely to be more important to an organization like Smart Recycling.
From there, you can make a distinction with colors, consistency and other simple guidelines to figure out exactly what category of metal you’re working with. If you are still unclear, give us a call and we will be glad to guide you in any way we can.

Will Smart Recycling offer the specifications and number of containers necessary for picking up scrap?

Absolutely. Not only does Smart Recycling provide containers for continual generated scrap, we will also provide custom sized bins of any size to accommodate handling and sorting needs.

What is the Value Of Scrap Metal and how do you evaluate the value?

All metal prices are established upon marketplace conditions regularly. The methodology mainly utilized by Smart Recycling is centered on the published Metal Market Report found in the American Market Journal; which can be provided if requested. Working with this report as a guide, an agreed upon margin of plus or minus published values can be set for all upcoming purchases.

How fast can Smart Reclycling pick up after we request your services?

If a call for service is initiated before 10 a.m. of any weekday there is a incredibly good probability of getting same day assistance. However, all service calls received will be fulfilled no later than next day guaranteed. Special need circumstances are treated expeditiously.

How quickly after materials have been picked up and assessed will we be given payment?

It is exclusively at the discretion of the agent representing its firm, often, payments are made inside a thirty day period of receiving scrap. Nevertheless, Smart Recycling will pay out for all settlements during the time period specified by our clients.

How long have you been running your business?

Salvatore J. Russo founded Smart Recycling as Russo Metal Company in 1978. Back then the focus was purely industrial scrap. As time went on, the recycling division was created, 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.
