Got metal?
We'll come get it.
Crews, trucks and an honest scale out of Sacramento. We buy copper and brass first, and everything else in the pile too — whole cars, frames, machinery, machine shop cleanups and auto parts cleanups.
We'd rather stay within an hour of Sacramento — but if the load's worth the drive, we're going.

Something not on this list? It's probably still metal. Call and ask — it costs nothing to find out.
The full scrap guidenot just shops
Farms, yards and small properties
You don't need a bin of turnings or a floor full of lathes. If there's metal sitting where you'd rather it wasn't, that's enough to send a truck out.
Farms & acreage
A back quarter of old metal, fencing and gates pulled down, a tank that's finally come out, rusted implements out by the shed.
Small properties
A garage full of odds and ends, a shed cleared out, appliances and fixtures coming out of a house or a rental.
Old cars & motors
Any old car we will take — whole, gutted or already a frame — plus motors, transmissions and whatever came out of it.
We'd rather stay within an hour of Sacramento — but if the load's worth the drive, we're going. If you're out in the outlying counties with a load worth coming for, we'll come for it.
how far we'll go
The load decides the drive
We'd rather work inside an hour of Sacramento — that's where we're fastest. Past that, what you've got is what decides how much road we'll eat.

Nothing here is a hard line. Tell us what you've got and where it sits — if it's worth us coming, we'll say yes and give you a time.
crews & trucks for hire
We bring the people
Tell us what needs clearing and where it's parked. We send the crew, the truck and the scale — you don't lift anything.
- 01
Load and haul-off
Point at the pile and we bring the crew, the truck and the lift. Nothing for you to carry, nothing left in your lot when we pull out.
- 02
Machine shop cleanups
Lathes, presses, hoppers, bench tools, racking and pallets of shop scrap. We walk the floor with you, agree the number, then clear it.
- 03
Auto parts cleanups
Parts inventories, teardown stock, shelves and bins of mixed metal. We sort as we load so the good material gets paid for properly.
- 04
Vehicles, frames & machinery
Whole cars, frames, engines and transmissions, plus the heavy equipment that needs more than one pair of hands and a real truck.
- 05
Appliances & fixtures
Freezers, washers, water heaters, sinks, counters and kitchen gear — pulled out of the building, loaded, and gone the same visit.
- 06
Standing pickups
For shops, contractors and yards that make metal every week: one call sets up a pickup we come back on.
Dispatched from Sacramento, California and running into 9 counties. If the job is bigger than a truckload, say so on the phone and we'll bring more than one.
how it works
Three steps, one pickup
- 01
Call dispatch
Tell us what you've got and where it is. Rough is fine — 'a closet full of wire and two old freezers' is a perfect description.
- 02
We price it before we roll
You'll know the number before we load anything, and we'll tell you straight if it isn't worth sending a truck.

The crew loads, weighs, pays
Free pickup, our people do the lifting and the loading, and cash goes into your hand on the spot. Nothing left behind.
commercial & contract

You don't stop work
Our crew loads it. Your floor keeps running while the truck fills up.
Weighed on the spot

straight answers
People ask us
What metal are you actually looking for?
Copper and brass first — that's the load we want most. Everything else still gets taken, and a mixed load is fine. If you can't tell the difference between two pieces, that's exactly what a phone call is for.
Do you take whole cars and car frames?
Yes. Whole vehicles, frames, engines, transmissions and parts cleanups. Tell us how many and where they're parked so we bring the right truck.
Can you clear a whole machine shop or auto parts cleanup?
That's the kind of job we like. We'll walk it with you, agree the number, then load and clear it. Book ahead for the big ones.
Do I have to sort my metal first?
Tell us what you've got on the phone and we'll say what's worth separating and what isn't. Most of the time it isn't worth your Saturday.
How do I get paid?
Cash on the spot, in your hand, before the truck leaves.
How far will you come?
We'd rather work inside an hour of Sacramento — that's where we're fastest. But distance is about the load, not the map: a serious copper or brass load and we'll drive hours, Bay Area, Reno, Fresno, anywhere worth it.
What if my stuff is buried, fenced in, or on a second floor?
Say so when you call. Access changes what we bring, and we'd rather know before we're standing at your gate.
