Calling all metalsmiths and contractors: did you know you could trade in any scrap metal in for cash? Once you’ve finished your project, bring your scrap metal down to one of Metalico Rochester’s three locations and trade in your scrap materials for cash.

Not sure which materials can be scrapped?  Metalico Rochester, the leader in scrap metal recycling, breaks down what you can bring to their scrap yard facilities by trade:

• Plumbers: After remodeling a bathroom or redoing some pipes, there is a lot of scrap metal you’ll need to dispose of. While older materials such as steel, cpvc, or pex may not be too valuable, other scrap metal can be traded in for a pretty penny. Metalico Rochester suggests scrapping pipes made of copper or brass, and cast iron or metal tubs and sinks.
• Electricians: Similarly to plumbers, electricians often have a lot of leftover materials to scrap after rewiring a business or residence. Metalico Rochester offers some of the most competitive prices in the Rochester area for scrap metal including both stripped and insulated wiring made of copper, steel, aluminum, and triplex.
• Construction Companies: Construction projects can result in a lot of excess scrap metal. Because a lot of these materials can’t be simply thrown out in the trash, you need to find a way to dispose of them. Metalico Rochester pays cash for all scrap metal, no matter how big or small. Bring your old beams and other metal items you can no longer use to any of their three locations.

Scrap metal recycling isn’t just for tradesmen. Metalico Rochester will also pay cash for everyday items such as air conditioners, barbeque grills, fans, and even aluminum cans. Visit their website or call (585) 436-0713 for more information and current pricing.
