Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Scrap metal removal, from your photo request to the pickup plan in Lee's Summit.

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.

How is scrap metal handled at the park?

The construction and demolition recycling process sorts incoming material to recover concrete, wood, metals and asphalt, and aluminum, tin and steel cans are on the drop-off recycling list. Call 816-287-2221 to confirm the charge for a metal load.Official guidance

Who collects curbside trash in Lee's Summit?

The City does not provide a municipal curbside collection. Residents and businesses hire a hauler licensed with the City, monthly rates vary from hauler to hauler, and every licensed hauler can offer yard waste pickup and must provide curbside recycling on request, with extra charges for those services.Official guidance

Is household hazardous waste free for Lee's Summit residents?

Yes. Residents dispose of household hazardous waste at no charge Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. without an appointment, and by appointment on the first Saturday of each month from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. The City page also describes weekend appointments more broadly, so confirm the Saturday arrangement at 816-287-2221. A valid ID showing your city of residence is required and businesses are turned away.Official guidance

What does it cost to drop off at the Resource Recovery Park?

The park does not publish a fee schedule. Its pricing link opens a contact form instead of a rate sheet, so call Summit Transfer at 816-287-2221 for the current charge on the material you are bringing.Official guidance
