Can I request a Certificate of Destruction?

Yes, we can provide a Certificate of Destruction to any material that requires guaranteed destruction. This documentation helps to protect companies in the event of legal action or financial audits. Certificates of destruction also help prove that the scrap metal or other materials you shredded or destroyed were securely destroyed.

How much is my scrap metal worth?

We’re very transparent about our price. The value of the metal will vary, depending on the market value and conditions of the material. We strongly recommend keeping your scrap metal clean from non-metal objects, so we can reduce waste and pay more for your material. For most valuable metals, we can analyze a sample of your material and estimate a price before you bring it all to us.
