Scrap Metal Pick Up in Portland Junk King is proud to provide eco-friendly scrap metal pickup in Portland and surrounding areas. As the greenest junk removal company in the country, a big part of our services involves recycling as much as we can. Currently, we strive to recycle about 60% of everything we bring into our sorting centers, and we’re working hard day by day to make sure that number increases as much as possible. Some of our most commonly recycled items are appliances, furniture, building materials, and all kinds of scrap metal. We pick up a wide range of scrap metals, including iron, copper, steel, aluminum, and any kind of metal that can be reused to create something else. Scrap metals are also found in old appliances, leftover construction debris, plumbing fixtures, and pretty much any household electronics. What Is Scrap Metal Pickup? Scrap metal pickup involves hauling away any items that contain metal and taking them to a recycling center where those metals can be extracted to make other valuable products. Rather than sending all that metal to the dump, Junk King ensures it’s reused as part of something new. We make it easy to clear out all kinds of junk you might have while also helping out the environment by recycling as much as we can. Many people find that getting rid of large junk metal objects like fridges and stoves is difficult because they are too heavy to place in the typical garbage cans. Even getting someone to pick up scrap metal from your home is not always easy. Although some people would like to recycle some of their scrap metal, it can be difficult if they don't know how to do that or where to take the items. It is generally challenging to recycle scrap metal by yourself, and it is even more dangerous than recycling the common household trash. Fortunately, many metal materials can be recycled, and we as a nation try very hard to recycle things. Most people recycle aluminum cans, which is very common. However, most of our municipal waste disposal companies are not always very helpful in educating their customers about metal recycling. Information describing how to recycle metal junk items is difficult to find, unlike information about more familiar items such as paper, glass, and aluminum cans. Statistics indicate that 100 million Americans don't know what can and cannot be recycled, or where they can get more information. This represents almost half of the population in the United States. At Junk King Portland, we believe that we can reuse a lot of the junk that we produce. That is why we offer reliable and cost-effective scrap metal pick up and recycling to make everything convenient for you. Junk King Makes Recycling Scrap Metal Quick & Easy You can get the best deal when you hire Junk King’s full-service scrap metal collection and recycling service. Metals are recyclable almost endlessly. We can recycle most metals several times without changing their properties, but steel is by far the most recycled material on the planet. It is actually possible to recycle about 80 percent of the metal that we consume, including aluminum, copper, silver, brass, and gold. There are plenty of steel pieces that can be recycled into cars that are made from all recycled materials. There are many different types of metal that we can recycle to build new things, but this is possible only if enough people recycle their old scrap metal. If people don't recycle their used scrap metal regularly and consistently, the metal may end up in junk yards and in landfills. And this is unfortunate since scrap metal is such a great material to recycle. Many people simply don't realize that there is a huge market for recycled scrap metal, which is quite unfortunate. It is also unfortunate that the government and the scrap metal industry don't do enough to educate people about recycling. Junk King bridges this gap by picking up and removing all your scrap metal junk items and transporting them to a local recycling facility so that the metal scraps that we remove will be recycled into new items. This is done using the most efficient method possible. Junk King Portland recycles more junk than any other junk removal company in the area, and we are the only company that will actually recycle your scrap metal items. Our long-term commitment to being environmentally conscious helps us to be a step ahead of our competitors when it comes to scrap metal recycling.

Junk King will carefully sort your junk before it goes to recycling centers so that nothing is accidentally sent to the wrong place.
