General Questions About Metal Recycling

  • Is There a Minimum Amount of Metal Required to Recycle?

    Nope — we accept all quantities of scrap metal. Whether it’s a single appliance or a full container, you’re welcome at F & D Salvage.

  • Do I Need to Sort My Scrap Metal Before Arriving?

    We recommend it. Separating ferrous (magnet sticks) from non-ferrous (magnet doesn’t stick) metals makes your visit quicker and helps us process your load more efficiently. Not sure? Our team will help sort it out on-site.
