Metal Drums Recycling Rates
Steel drum recycling rates are tied to scrap steel commodity pricing. Intact drums that can be reconditioned receive premium rebates. Crushed drums are accepted at standard scrap steel rates.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you recycle dented or crushed steel drums?
Yes. Damaged drums that cannot be reconditioned are processed as scrap steel. The steel is melted down and recycled into new products.
How do I schedule metal drums recycling?
Submit your materials through our form with quantity, condition, and location details. We'll respond with recycling options and pickup scheduling.
What condition metal drums can be recycled?
We accept metal drums in virtually any condition — broken, damaged, end-of-life, and surplus materials all have recycling value.
Is there a cost for recycling pickup?
Pickup terms depend on volume and location. Many qualifying loads are picked up at no charge, and you may receive a rebate for recyclable material. Submit your details for specifics.
Do you provide recycling documentation?
Yes. We provide sustainability documentation for pickups, which can be used for corporate sustainability reporting and waste diversion records.
