What to Expect
Full-service removal breakdown
Scrap Metal disposal service details
Scrap metal pickup is priced based on the volume and weight of what you have, how many pieces are involved, and where on your property the metal is located. A small pile of pipes or sheet metal costs less than a full garage cleanout with mixed ferrous and non-ferrous material. Access factors like stairs, tight spaces, or a long carry from a backyard shed may affect the final total, and all of that is reflected in your upfront price before you confirm.
Your scrap metal should be detached and free of hazardous contents before your Loaders arrive. Items still bolted to a structure or connected to wiring are not ready for pickup and cannot be removed on-site.

LoadUp accepts a wide range of detached ferrous and non-ferrous metal items for removal.
- Metal shelving and racks

- Radiators
- Metal furniture and frames
- Fencing and gate sections

- Appliances stripped for metal

Options & add-ons (clearly priced)
Your booking total is transparent from the start. Optional adjustments like additional volume, a long carry from a shed or backyard, or stair access are clearly shown during checkout so your final price is accurate and surprise-free at pickup.
Volume discounts
The more you remove, the more you save. Discounts apply in real time as items are added.
Flights of stairs
Stairs add time and labor, which is factored in upfront to keep pricing fair for everyone.
Item disassembly
For items that need to be taken apart, add disassembly to your booking during checkout.
Donation drop-off
Choose whether eligible items should be donated when possible during checkout.
Sustainability efforts
Your Loaders prioritize sorting scrap metal for recycling, since metal is one of the most recoverable materials when local facilities are available. Disposal decisions are made based on what recycling options exist in your area at the time of pickup, so outcomes can vary.

Contact usScrap metal pickup typically starts around $65, though your final price depends on how much metal you have, what type it is, and whether you book curbside or in-home pickup. A small pile of pipes or sheet metal costs less than a full garage cleanout with mixed heavy material. Access factors like stairs, a long carry from a backyard shed, or a tight workspace are also factored in. Your price is locked in upfront before you confirm, so there are no surprise charges at pickup.
Your Loaders can pick up a wide range of detached ferrous and non-ferrous metal, including metal shelving, pipes, gutters, radiators, fencing sections, sheet metal, cast iron pieces, metal furniture frames, and farm or yard metal. The key requirement is that items need to be detached and free of hazardous contents before your Loaders arrive. Metal that is still bolted to a structure or connected to wiring is not something your Loaders can remove on-site.
No, you do not have to drag anything to the curb first. If you book in-home pickup, your Loaders will collect the metal from your garage, workshop, yard, or shed, wherever it currently sits on your property. If you prefer not to be home, you can book LoadUp's curbside pickup instead and leave the metal in an accessible outdoor location before your Loaders arrive.
No. LoadUp is a removal service, not a scrap-buying service, so you are not paid or credited for the value of the metal. You pay for the convenience of having your Loaders come to your property, lift and load the metal, and haul it away without you renting a truck or making trips to a scrap yard yourself.
Your Loaders sort scrap metal for recycling when local options are available in your area. Metal is one of the most recoverable materials, so recycling is the priority, but disposal decisions are made based on what facilities exist locally at the time of pickup. Outcomes can vary depending on your location, so a specific recycling result cannot be guaranteed.
Yes. Your Loaders cannot take pressurized or propane tanks, fuel tanks with residual fluids, chemical or hazardous drums, or any metal that is still bolted to a structure or requires electrical disconnection to remove. Items like metal roofing panels or structural beams that are still attached to a building also fall outside what your Loaders can handle. If you are unsure whether something qualifies, the general rule is that it needs to be fully detached and free of hazardous contents before pickup.
