Scrap metal

Special rules apply

The recycling center refuses scrap metal, but the department names metal on its extra pickup list for large items, so the route has to be confirmed when the pickup is booked.

City cost & eligibility
The department names metal among the large items collected on an extra pickup for an additional fee, while the recycling center refuses scrap metal and publishes no metal price. Confirm the item and the charge with the Sanitation Department on (256) 737-7560.
When & how
Call the Sanitation Department on (256) 737-7560 to confirm the metal load, then follow the pickup instructions it gives.
Get it ready
Keep fluids, fuel and hazardous material out of the metal load, keep it out of the cart and the recycling container, and separate metal from household garbage before the pickup.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Cart placement and the 5 a.m. set-out

Place the cart no further than three feet off the roadway with the arrows facing the street, on the opposite side of the mailbox from the driveway where possible, at least four feet from poles, hydrants and other obstacles and at least ten feet from vehicles, and never across a ditch the arm cannot reach. Garbage has to be bagged and inside the cart, and the cart has to be out by 5 a.m. or it waits until the next week.

A few things
worth knowing.

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

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.

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.
