Scrap metal and metal items

Special rules apply

Metal is banned from the trash cart, and the Recycling Center accepts scrap metal free of charge from Haverhill and Bradford residents during its open hours. Appliances and power equipment dropped at the same site are charged per item, and metal fencing, engines and automobile parts cannot go in the cart.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. scrap metal brought by Haverhill and Bradford residents during Recycling Center hours is accepted free of charge, while appliances cost 15 dollars each and lawn mowers, snow blowers and rototillers cost the same, with oil and antifreeze drained first and a 5 dollar fee for an auto battery.
When & how
Bring metal to the Recycling Center at 95 Downing Avenue on Wednesday from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM or Saturday from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM, and keep the load separate from household trash so the attendant can see what is being dropped.
Get it ready
Drain the oil and antifreeze from power equipment, take the propane tank off a grill before it goes as metal, and keep paint, aerosol cans and other hazardous material out of the load, because the center refuses anything containing them. Metal that is part of a whole appliance still follows the per-appliance fee, and metal from a demolition or renovation load is not accepted at all.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

The banned list is what sends a clear-out to another route

Appliances, air conditioners, televisions, computers, fluorescent light fixtures, waste oil, leaves and yard waste outside an approved collection day, tires, engines, batteries, chain link fence, wood, demolition debris and metals are all banned from the trash cart, and the city leaves those items at the curb when they are put out. They go to the Recycling Center, to a booked bulky pickup or to a household hazardous waste event instead. A move-out pile that exceeds the cart and the overflow bag allowance has to be collected privately.

Set-out windows, cart placement and who is eligible

Nothing goes to the curb before 4:00 PM on the day before collection, everything has to be out by 6:00 AM on the collection day, and empty containers come back off the curb by 11:59 PM that night. Carts need about three feet of clearance from poles, mailboxes, hydrants, trees and parked cars, no more than five feet from the curb edge, with the lid arrows facing the street so the truck arm can service them. Single-family homes through eight-unit buildings are eligible for city collection, with one cart per unit, and a condominium complex already on dumpster service keeps that service.

Drive the load to the Haverhill Recycling Center

A household that would rather drop mattresses, appliances, electronics, metal, tires, waste oil, textiles or yard waste than book a collection.

Cost & conditions

Confirm the rate for the exact item before loading.
Arrange it
Drive to 95 Downing Avenue on Wednesday from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM or Saturday from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM, keep the material separated, and expect to unload it yourself.

Haverhill and Bradford residents only. The center refuses furniture, building and demolition material, trash bags, Styrofoam, small kitchen appliances, brick, dirt, concrete and anything containing paint, aerosols or other hazardous substances.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Haverhill works from the curb first, so most material moves through the cart, an overflow bag or a booked bulky pickup, and the city's own drop-off handles what those routes refuse. The Recycling Center at 95 Downing Avenue, at the rear of the 500 Primrose Street lot, is open year round to Haverhill and Bradford residents on Wednesday from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM and Saturday from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM, and it takes mattresses and box springs, appliances, televisions and other electronics, scrap metal, tires, auto batteries, universal waste, waste oil on the last Saturday of the month, textiles, plastic film, plastic containers 1 through 7, glass, cans and paper, plus leaves, grass and brush while the yard is open. Scrap metal, textiles, plastic film, universal waste and the monthly waste oil are free, while appliances, electronics, mattresses, tires, batteries and power equipment are priced per item and paid online or at the center. Two materials have no city route at all: furniture, which the center refuses outright, and construction, demolition and remodeling debris, which the city tells residents to dispose of privately.

worth knowing.

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

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.

Is scrap metal free to drop off in Haverhill?

Yes.

Who do I call if Haverhill misses my trash or recycling?

Report a missed collection to the city hauler Capitol Waste at 1-866-569-1718, or dial 311 inside the city and 978-358-1311 from outside it. Trash and recycling have to be at the curb by 6:00 AM on the collection day, containers come back off the curb by 11:59 PM that day, and the Solid Waste and Recycling Department at 978-420-3817 answers questions about the program.Official guidance

Where does Haverhill take paint, chemicals and other household hazardous waste?

The city runs two household hazardous waste drop-offs a year for residents with proof of residency, on Saturday, March 21 and Saturday, October 10, 2026, at the Wastewater Treatment Plant at 40 South Porter Street from 9:00 AM until noon, with a limit of 25 gallons of liquid chemicals and 25 pounds of dry chemicals. Dried latex paint and empty cans can go in the regular trash, while oil-based paint, propane tanks, tires, auto batteries and televisions are not accepted at the event and go to the Recycling Center or another drop-off instead.Official guidance

Can a reusable sofa, appliance or mattress go to the city instead of the trash?

The Recycling Center takes clothing and textiles free of charge, and the Big Brother Big Sister Foundation collects textiles at the curb free of charge on request at 508-466-4590, but the center refuses furniture, couches, dressers, shelving and small kitchen appliances. UTEC is not accepting donated mattresses, so a reusable piece needs a charity that accepts it, a booked bulky pickup for a sofa, or an appliance drop-off at the center for a fee.Official guidance
