Scrap metal and metal items

Accepted with preparation

Only cans and foil belong in the recycling cart, and every other metal item goes to the metal pile at the landfill with a free recycling pass.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. A recycling permit is free to residents and covers recycling, scrap metal and yard waste, with no trash. The metal pile needs the permit and is reached through an attendant.
When & how
Take metal to the landfill drop off on 101 Fitchburg Road during the Wednesday, Friday or Saturday hours, and show the recycling permit at the gate.
Get it ready
Keep bikes, mop and broom handles, brake discs and other metal out of the recycling cart, because only aluminum cans, steel cans, aerosol cans, aluminum foil and aluminum trays are accepted there. Drain oil and fuel from anything motorised before it is loaded, and keep refrigerant appliances separate because those carry their own drop off fee.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Waste ban items are not bulk items

Televisions, computer monitors, cathode ray tubes, asphalt, pavement, bricks, metals, lead acid batteries, glass table tops, white goods and tires are waste ban items rather than bulk items, and they are refused at the curb. Each one goes to a recycling facility or to the landfill drop off, where white goods, refrigerant units, tires and televisions each carry a published fee that is paid before the load arrives.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

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

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 Fitchburg?

To the metal pile at the landfill drop off on 101 Fitchburg Road. The recycling cart takes only aluminum and steel cans, aerosol cans, foil and aluminum trays, so bikes, handles, brake discs and similar metal are dropped at the landfill with a recycling permit, which is free to residents and covers scrap metal along with recycling and yard waste.Official guidance
