PAYLOAD / METAL

scrap metal
northwest indiana.

This is steel country. The Northwest Indiana crew hauls the rusty grill, the bikes nobody rode, the bed frames in the rafters and the swing set in the back corner, and it all goes to a metal recycler instead of a landfill. Mixed metal loads are often the cheapest pickup on the list.

PRE-FLIGHT

Before the crew arrives.

STEP 01

Drain gas and oil from mowers and snow blowers.

STEP 02

Stack metal in one spot so the crew can load fast.

STEP 03

Separate copper and brass if you have it, it is worth telling the crew about.

STEP 04

Remove propane tanks from grills and set them aside.

PRICING

How it is priced.

Metal loads are priced like any load, by the truck space, but because scrap has value at the recycler the crew keeps metal-only pickups on the low end of the scale. Mixed metal and junk is priced as a normal load.

SPLASHDOWN

Where it lands.

Everything metal goes to a recycler in Lake County where steel, aluminum, copper and brass are sorted. Nothing metal goes to a landfill from a Junkonauts truck.

QUESTIONS ABOUT SCRAP METAL REMOVAL

Mission log.

Straight answers from the Northwest Indiana crew. Anything not covered here, call and ask.

(219) 555-0147
A PERSON ANSWERS. NOT A CALL CENTER.
Q 01Do you pay for scrap metal?

No. The crew is a hauling service, and the value of the metal is reflected in a lower load price rather than a payout.

Q 02Can you take a lawn mower or snow blower?

Yes, with the gas and oil drained first.

Q 03Do you take water heaters and furnaces as scrap?

Yes, once they are disconnected and, for water heaters, drained.

Q 04Will you take a swing set?

Yes. The crew disassembles it and hauls the metal and the slide.

Q 05Do you pick up scrap in Gary and Hammond?

Yes, those are regular stops.

Q 06Can you take copper pipe and wire from my remodel?

Yes. Tell the crew, it is kept separate for the recycler.

Q 07Do you take cars or trailers?

No. Parts, yes. Whole vehicles need a tow and a title process the crew does not handle.

Q 08Do propane tanks go with the grill?

No. Empty tanks can go to a retailer exchange. The crew takes the grill without the tank.

REQUEST A PRICE

Point at it. The Northwest Indiana crew takes it from there.

Tell us what is going and when. The crew calls back with a window and a ballpark, and the exact price gets confirmed on site.
