Scrap metal removal in Elizabethtown: start with the item’s collection rules, then choose the arrangement that fits.

Scrap metal

Special rules apply

Scrap metal is not named in the City's cleanup exclusions or in the brush and leaf programs, so the route has to be confirmed.

City cost & eligibility
The City publishes no scrap metal rule or fee. Call Public Works at 270-737-7890 to confirm whether a metal item can go out with a collection.
When & how
Confirm with Public Works before setting metal out, because the City's lists do not address it directly.
Get it ready
Keep metal items separate from bagged material, since the City asks residents not to mix large items with smaller or bagged items in a cleanup pile.

For your Dropcurb pickup

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Elizabethtown residents with brush or cut trees too large for the curbside rotation can deliver them to the Public Works Facility at 1600 Nicholas Street, where the City accepts material over twelve inches in diameter or five feet in length that was generated inside the city limits. Contractors working inside the city are required to remove oversized debris themselves or deliver it to the same location. For anything the cleanup and yard programs do not cover, including construction debris, tires, electronics and scrap metal, the City publishes no facility, so call Public Works at 270-737-7890 before hauling.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

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

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.
