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

Reviewed · Sources below

Scrap metal

Special rules apply

Scrap metal is not a container item and the county schedule publishes no metal category. The city's recycling directory is the published evidence of local metal outlets.

City cost & eligibility
Neither the city nor the county publishes a scrap metal rate, and the prices in the city's 2015-2016 directory are out of date. Confirm acceptance and any charge with the outlet before you load.
When & how
Call the metal outlet listed in the city's recycling directory before travel, since hours and terms are set by each business rather than published by the city today.
Get it ready
Separate ferrous from nonferrous metal, remove batteries, glass, plastic and anything that still holds refrigerant, and wrap sharp or protruding edges so the load is safe to handle.

A household with a vehicle that would rather move its own load than wait for a hauler, including household waste, brush, appliances and tires.

Cost & conditions
From $16 for up to 500 pounds of municipal solid waste at the Riley County Transfer Station, with a per-ton rate above that and separate published rates for appliances, brush, compost and tires.

Arrange it
Drive to 1881 Henton Road between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday, closed Sundays and the listed county holidays, and pay by charge account or card at the gate.

The schedule publishes no category for construction and demolition debris, electronic waste, mattresses or scrap metal, so confirm those loads at the gate first. Residential brush and grass, leaves, straw and hay are free; commercial loads are not.

Use a drop-off outlet from the city recycling directory

A household with electronics, scrap metal or tires that a local business on the city's published directory will take.

Cost & conditions
The directory is dated 2015-2016 and its printed prices no longer match the county schedule, so confirm each outlet's current acceptance and charge directly.
Arrange it
Open the directory, pick the outlet that handles your material, then call that business to confirm its current hours, limits and price before loading.

These are private businesses, not city or county facilities, and the directory itself says the information is subject to change. Treat every listing as a starting point that has to be confirmed.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

The self-haul route for this address is Riley County. The Transfer Station at 1881 Henton Road opens 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday, takes household waste by weight with a minimum charge, prices appliances and tires separately, adds a CFC removal fee to an uncertified appliance, and accepts residential brush and grass, leaves, straw and hay at no charge; payment is by charge account or card only.

The county schedule publishes no construction debris, mattress or scrap metal category, and the city's recycling directory is only a dated starting list for local electronic, metal and tire outlets, so confirm each of those loads before the trip.

worth knowing.

Scrap metal removal, from your photo request to the pickup plan in Manhattan.

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?

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.

Who buys or takes scrap metal in Manhattan?

The county rate schedule has no metal category. The city's recycling directory is the published list of local outlets that take scrap metals such as aluminium, copper, brass, stainless steel and steel, and each one sets its own current terms.Official guidance
