Questions

Before you load up

Do I need an appointment?

Never. Pull in any day we're open and drive onto the scale — no appointment, no scheduling, no minimum. If you're bringing an unusually large or heavy load, a quick call ahead lets us have equipment ready for you.

Do you post your prices online?

No — scrap prices change daily with the market, and anything posted here would be out of date by the time you arrived. Call 210-924-0000 and we'll give you today's number for exactly what you have.

Do you really pick up junk cars for free?

Yes. Free pickup and towing anywhere we serve in San Antonio, and you're paid cash on the spot when we load it — the tow never comes out of your price. Call us with the year, make, model and condition — or email a photo — and we'll quote it before we roll out.

How do the roll-off containers work?

We deliver a 20, 30 or 40 yard container to your shop, jobsite or plant, you load it on your own schedule, and we haul it back to the yard, weigh it and pay you for the metal inside. Call and tell us what you're generating and how much room you have — we'll tell you which box fits and how fast we can get it out to you. We also drop containers for trash and for brush — tell us your specific needs and we'll customize the order.

Is there a minimum load?

None. Bring a single radiator or twenty tons of structural steel — both get weighed and paid the same way.

Do I need to sort my metal first?

It helps and usually pays better, since clean, separated material grades higher. But you don't have to — bring it as it is and our crew will sort it with you at the scale.

Do you take appliances with freon?

Refrigerators, freezers and AC units have to be handled under EPA rules. Call before you load one up and we'll tell you how we can take it.
