Scrap metal removal in Yucaipa: start with the item’s collection rules, then choose the arrangement that fits.

Scrap metal
Special rules applyScrap metal does not belong in any of the three barrels: metal is marked as not allowed in the blue recycling barrel, and the bulky program's published list names furniture, appliances, mattresses and electronic waste rather than loose metal. A metal item is confirmed with Yucaipa Disposal as a bulky item, and the county's published acceptance list for its own disposal sites does not exclude metal for a self-hauled load.
- City cost & eligibility
- Neither the city nor the hauler publishes a scrap metal rate, and a county landfill charge depends on the weight of the load and on whether it is hard to handle, so the amount is confirmed with Yucaipa Disposal or at the county gate.
- When & how
- Ask Yucaipa Disposal about the piece before a collection week in the second week of February, May, August or November, or self-haul it during county gate hours, Monday to Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at San Timoteo Landfill in Redlands, where the load is weighed and charged at the gate.
- Get it ready
- Strip out batteries, glass, plastic and anything that still holds refrigerant before the metal leaves the property, wrap sharp or protruding edges, and secure the load for the trip. A clean, sorted metal load is worth checking against a scrap buyer that pays for metal before it goes to a landfill as waste.
The handoff matters
Right item.
Right place.
Barrels and bulky items are at the curb by 6:00 a.m.
Place barrels in the street, at the curb or at the corner of the driveway with the handles facing the home, one foot apart and at least three feet from a mailbox, fence, vehicle or other obstruction. Set barrels out the night before or no later than 6:00 a.m. on the service day, because anything left behind waits for the next week.

Bulky items are collected on a separate truck during the second week of February, May, August and November, so call Yucaipa Disposal at least one week before the scheduled collection day. Keep hazardous waste, tires, oil and paint out of the pile, because those are refused and cannot go in a barrel either.

San Bernardino County charges double for an uncovered or unsecured load at its landfills and transfer stations, so tarp and tie down anything headed to San Timoteo, Mid-Valley or another county site. Cash fees are rounded to the nearest whole dollar, and the sites close on New Year's Day, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.

Remove the doors and hinges from a refrigerator, freezer, oven or similar unit before it goes to the curb, and keep the cord and loose parts with the appliance. A refrigerator that goes to a county site instead has to arrive with no Freon left in it, so settle which route the unit is taking when the collection is booked.

Before you book
A few things
worth knowing.
Scrap metal removal, from your photo request to the pickup plan in Yucaipa.
How do I request a scrap metal pickup quote?
Text photos to (844) 879-0892 with your ZIP code, approximate amount and access details. Show the whole pile and a closer view of the material. Our team will confirm the scope, quote and scheduling.
Do you buy scrap metal or pick it up for free?
This is a request for a paid removal quote, not a scrap-buying or free-collection offer. If you want to sell metal, ask a local recycler about its accepted materials and delivery requirements.
How much does scrap metal removal cost?
This service uses a custom quote. Send photos, the approximate amount, your ZIP code and access details. Our team confirms the scope and price before booking; there is no fixed-price catalog item for this pile.
Can you collect it today?
Tell our team your preferred day when you request the quote. Timing depends on the material, amount and access, and is confirmed with your quote. Sending photos does not reserve same-day pickup.
Where does scrap metal go in Yucaipa?
Not in the blue recycling barrel, where metal is marked as not allowed, and not on the published bulky item list. Call Yucaipa Disposal to ask whether the piece can go out as one of the five bulky items, or take it to a San Bernardino County disposal site, whose published acceptance list does not exclude metal and weighs a self-hauled load at the gate.Official guidance
How far ahead does a bulky pickup have to be booked?
Call Yucaipa Disposal at least one week before the scheduled collection day. Items belong at the curb rather than in the street, out by 6:00 a.m., and the unscheduled pile that sits at the curb waits for the next collection window because the bulky truck only takes what was arranged.Official guidance
What can never go in a Yucaipa barrel?
Batteries, electronic waste, hazardous waste, paint, oil, pesticides, fluorescent bulbs, sharps, tires, hot ashes and flammables are all marked as not allowed in the city's barrel guide. Household hazardous waste goes to a county collection facility instead, free for county residents with identification, up to 15 gallons or 125 pounds per visit in containers no larger than five gallons.Official guidance
When can a Yucaipa household take its own load to the county landfill?
Self-haul loads are accepted at San Timoteo Landfill, 31 Refuse Road in Redlands, Monday to Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and at Mid-Valley Landfill, 2390 Alder Avenue in Rialto, Monday to Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Both sites close on the six county holidays, and an uncovered or unsecured load doubles the disposal fee.Official guidance
