Responsible Metal Recycling

Not all “junk” is waste. Most metal can be repurposed, recycled, or reused, saving valuable resources and keeping landfills cleaner. At Copper State Junk Removal & Hauling, we’re committed to environmentally responsible disposal practices across Northern Arizona.

Here’s how we do it:

  • ♻️ Material sorting: We separate metals at pickup or before disposal to keep loads clean and maximize recycling.

  • 🪙 Proper handling: Items containing mixed materials (like rubber grips or wooden handles) are processed so recyclable components don’t go to waste.

  • 🧾 Verified recycling: We partner with licensed metal recyclers and transfer stations in Yavapai County to ensure everything is handled legally and responsibly.

  • 🌿 Sustainable commitment: Every ton of metal we recycle keeps reusable resources in circulation—and keeps Northern Arizona beautiful.

Whether it’s a few metal chairs or a full trailer of shop scrap, we take the same care with every load.

Tips to Save on Metal Pickup Costs

Recycling is affordable—and with a few simple steps, you can make it even more cost-effective:

  • Bundle items together: Combine your metal with other junk or debris for a single pickup trip.

  • Stage items for easy access: Place them in your driveway, garage, or near the curb to reduce labor time.

  • Drain fluids & remove tanks: Required for lawn equipment and grills (we can advise where to take propane tanks).

  • Keep metals clean & dry: Avoid contamination with wood, concrete, or trash to reduce sorting fees.

  • Send photos ahead: We can quote more accurately (and sometimes lower) when we know exactly what’s included.

We’re upfront about all costs—no hidden fees, no surprises, just honest pricing and reliable service.

Metal Recycling FAQ

  • No, we’re a hauling and recycling service—not a scrapyard. Our pricing covers pickup, labor, and transport to the recycler. If you have large quantities of valuable metals like clean copper or brass, we’ll advise if self-recycling would be more cost-effective or we might offer a reduced rate.

  • We can take appliances such as washers, dryers, and ovens for metal recycling, but refrigerators, freezers, and A/C units require freon removal—book those through our Appliance Removal service.

  • For safety, propane tanks, oil, and fuel must be removed or drained before we arrive. We can point you to local drop-off sites for tanks.

  • We take both ferrous (magnetic) and non-ferrous (non-magnetic) metals—steel, iron, copper, brass, aluminum, and stainless steel, among others.

  • Yes, but keeping metal separate helps us recycle more efficiently—and can sometimes reduce your disposal cost.

  • Absolutely. We work with contractors, property managers, and small businesses across Yavapai County for ongoing scrap removal and recycling needs.

  • In many cases, we offer same-day or next-day service, depending on location and route availability.
