Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

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

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.

Should metal go in the same pile as furniture?

No. Madison asks residents to separate metal items and appliances from non-metal large items because different crews collect them. Confirm unfamiliar scrap materials with Streets first.Official guidance

Does city bulk collection cover every Madison apartment building?

No. Properties with more than eight units are excluded from city large-item collection. Confirm arrangements with your building manager or private provider. Eligible residents can still review the city’s drop-off requirements.Official guidance

Why might my neighbor have different appliance charges?

Madison ties listed appliance charges to recycling service. City recycling customers pay the monthly Resource Recovery Special Charge; customers with private recycling pay applicable item charges when using the city route.Official guidance
