Frequently Asked Questions:
May We drop off scrap metal at your Orcas Island Site?
Yes! Clean steel, aluminum, car parts, pipe etc...is accepted for a small fee...A mainland charge to decommission refrigerators and freezers is currently $35.
 
May I unload scrap metal at a time other than Wednesday & Friday 8am - 2pm, and Saturday 8am - 11am?
Yes! Similar to picking up our soil products...simply phone our facility at 376-4709.
 
What happens with my old appliances and scrap metal?
Once our large boxes are loaded, we transport the metal to scrap recovery yards in Skagit and Whatcom counties. The collected scrap is melted down at steel mills and made into a new usable product.
 
I'm a senior citizen and have a large assortment of mixed metal and more...what should I do?
Call 376-Junk and our "R-Men" will drive out to your property and check you out.
 
Do you accept dead cars?
No. However, we do accept clean car parts. Engines and transmission must have the oil already drained out.
 
I have more metals than just a pick-up truck or utility trailer.
Larger truck loads or large scrap pieces...please phone the guys first at 376-4709.
 
Why do we recycle metal and similar materials?
Two reasons: It's significantly less energy to turn old metal into new, rather than starting with raw virgin ore. Secondly, Often times, the mining of raw ore from Mother Earth has a negative impact on our environment.
 
Do you deliver large drop boxes to our property for scrap metal clean-ups?
Yes! Simply phone our office at 376-4709 to schedule a delivery time and determine a transportation cost.
