Scrap metal
Special rules applyMetal is not a named collection stream in Covington, so a metal-heavy load goes with the bulky pile or into a rented roll-off container.
- City cost & eligibility
- No per-load amount is published for metal, and a load beyond the monthly allowance needs a rented container, so confirm the route and any charge with the hauler.
- When & how
- Keep metal within the monthly bulky allowance on your side's week, or order a roll-off container for a larger load.
- Get it ready
- Remove loose parts and fuel, keep sharp edges covered, and keep the pile clear of vehicles, fences and utility boxes.

A few things
worth knowing.
Scrap metal removal, from your photo request to the pickup plan in Covington.
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.

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.
