The Scrap Metal Process – What To Do
Sorting Your Scrap Will Help Us Give You the Best Price
Recycling Scrap Metal Might Seem Complicated, but at E. Schneider & Sons …. We Make It Easy
Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of how the process works:
1. Sort Your Scrap Metal
Before bringing your materials to our yard, sort your scrap metal into different categories.
We accept both ferrous (magnetic) and non-ferrous (non-magnetic) metals, and sorting your scrap will help us give you the best price for each type of material.
For example, copper, aluminum, and brass are all non-ferrous metals that tend to have higher value compared to ferrous metals like steel and iron.

2. Bring Your Scrap to Our Yard or Schedule a Pickup
Once your scrap is sorted, you can bring it to our yard. Our facilities are easy to navigate, and our staff will be there to help unload and weigh your materials. If you’re unable to bring the scrap to us, simply call ahead, and we can arrange a convenient pickup time for large loads.
3. Weighing and Evaluation
When you arrive at our yard, our team will weigh your scrap on one of our certified scales to determine its weight. This is an essential step in the process, as metal pricing is typically based on weight. Our fair and transparent process ensures that you receive a competitive price for your materials.
4. Get Paid On the Spot
After your scrap is weighed and evaluated, you’ll receive immediate payment for your metal. Our team will provide you with a detailed receipt that reflects the total amount of scrap you brought in, as well as the payment you’ve received. It’s a simple, fast, and secure transaction.
5. Environmentally Responsible Processing
Once your scrap is processed and sorted, we work with licensed processors to ensure that the materials are recycled and repurposed in the most environmentally friendly way possible. We partner with facilities that adhere to all environmental regulations and make sure that the metals we receive are properly sorted and reused in the manufacturing of new products.
