Cash Payments for Recycled Scrap Metal 

After a large home renovation project or thorough garage cleaning, many people end up with a large amount of scrap metal in need of disposal. Unfortunately, too many people don’t know the benefits of recycling. Or, they might not know where to find the nearest center in Frederick County, MD.

Benefits of Scrap Recycling in Frederick County, MD 

The United States has come a long way in recent years when it comes to recycling. However, we (as well as the rest of the world) still have a lot to learn about its importance.

One of the reasons why Reliable Recycling has been the go-to recycling center for residents of Frederick County, Maryland, for so many years is due to our passion for both the environment and our local economy. Recycling has a great impact on both of these areas.

A majority of people who trade scrap metal for cash are individuals who work in the trade industry: factory workers, construction workers, demolitionists, electricians, etc. That being said, homeowners with small amounts of scrap are also welcome. After all, the recycling business is only growing larger, making it an extremely rare example of a constantly expanding business that also consistently gives back to communities.

Recycling scrap metal also decreases the amount of intrusive mining done around the planet. By recycling what we’re already mining for, we’re keeping these metals circulating. This allows us to reduce the amount of digging that needs to be done without reducing production on the items these metals make. And by reducing these intrusive mining projects, we’re saving the planet from hazardous toxins, depletion of natural resources, and the unnecessary destruction of ecosystems.

Roll-Off Container Service in Frederick County, MD

A lot of people cite “inconvenience” as their #1 reason for not recycling, and we can understand that. The process can be tedious to some; looking up the address for the nearest recycling center, hauling it all into the car, and finding the time to drive out to the facility can be a huge challenge to some. Maybe you don’t get off work until after the recycling facility is already closed for the day? Maybe your car isn’t big enough to haul all of your scrap?

Our team at Reliable Recycling Center knows how difficult these steps can be, but we also know the significance of recycling. That’s why we offer all of our customers a roll-off container option to simplify the process!

Here’s how it works:

• We’ll send an open-top container right to your home or office building
• At your leisure, you fill said container with as much scrap and recyclable materials as you can
• Once the container is full, we’ll pick it up for you!
• After going through the materials inside, we’ll call you with a price

Recycling large amounts of scrap metal has never been easier! For more information on our roll-off container service, contact us today!

Determining Value for Your Scrap Metal 

Recycling scrap metal has a lot benefits for both the environment and the local economy, but the biggest perk is that it puts cash in your pocket!

The process of determining the monetary value of a customer’s scrap metal is based on a few varying factors. The most important thing we look at is the world market value of the metal at the time you bring it in. Because the value of metal shifts often, there’s never a guaranteed price. However, if you call ahead of time and tell us what you have, we can give you a rough estimate over the phone.

We measure all scrap and materials on scales that have been certified by weights and measures officials right here in Maryland. These scales range from platform scales that can weigh as little as one pound to large truck scales able to accommodate tractor-trailers weighing up to 100,000 pounds! They’re inspected semi-annually, guaranteeing the most accurate weight (and price) for your scrap!
