    We will also need the year, make, model, color, and license plate number of the vehicle and trailer (if applicable) with which you are delivering the metal.

    In most cases, yes. Please see Florida Statute 538.18-538.28.

  • Do I need proof of ownership to recycle my old air conditioner from my house?

  • Do you offer roll-off containers or pick up services for commercial businesses?

    Yes. We have the transportation services to haul most any kind of scrap metal, large or small. Roll-offs, dump trailers, double drops, and rollbacks. Please give us a call or fill out our quote form in order for us to understand your needs.
