Scrap metal
Special rules applyScrap metal is not named as its own route on the city page, so it has to be confirmed as a pay pile or taken with an appliance at the Spring Clean Up Day.
- City cost & eligibility
- The city publishes no scrap metal rate or drop-off, so confirm with Public Works on 270-444-8511 whether a metal load is treated as a pay pile with the minimum fee, or whether it can travel with appliances to the Spring Clean Up Day.
- When & how
- Call Public Works on 270-444-8511 first, then use the pay pile route or the Spring Clean Up Day depending on what staff confirm.
- Get it ready
- Keep metal out of the rollout container, remove loose glass, plastic and hazardous attachments before a metal load is weighed or reviewed, and keep the pile clear of parked cars and utility poles so the knuckleboom truck can reach it.
The handoff matters
Right item.
Right place.
City containers, early mornings and four feet of clearance
Paducah residential solid waste costs 28.00 a month for one rollout and includes yard waste collection and curbside recycling for households that sign up, with fees on the monthly water bill. Only city-issued containers are serviced, crews run from 4 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on residential and commercial routes, and containers must be out by 4 a.m. on the collection day, so the city recommends setting them out the night before. Collection runs Tuesday through Friday with recycling the same day, and holidays may push a route to Monday. Containers go within two feet of the roadside edge with handles facing away from the street, and the side-arm truck cannot service a container with a stationary object such as a car, mailbox, utility pole, tree, shrub or fence within four feet. Overfilled containers may interrupt service, and contents such as paint, gasoline, solvents, oil, batteries, tires, bricks, blocks and construction material stop the collection altogether.

Anything that will not fit the container, including furniture, is a pay pile. The items go adjacent to the street rather than in an alley, and the person named on the water bill calls Public Works on 270-444-8511 to report the pile. A Public Works supervisor then reviews it and assigns a fee that depends on the size of the pile and how much of the knuckleboom truck it fills, with a minimum charge added to the water bill, and collection happens on Thursdays and Fridays. If the pile is refused for a rule violation, a Call Back service before the next scheduled date carries an additional fee.

Before you book
A few things
worth knowing.
Scrap metal removal, from your photo request to the pickup plan in Paducah.
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.
Where does Paducah scrap metal go?
The city page does not name a scrap metal route, so the answer has to be confirmed. Metal is not on the list of contents that interrupt service, but it is also not listed as accepted at the Spring Clean Up Day, which takes major appliances, batteries and e-scrap. Call Public Works on 270-444-8511 to ask whether the load is a pay pile, collected Thursdays and Fridays for a minimum fee, or whether it can travel with appliances to the event.Official guidance
Who collects garbage in Paducah?
The City of Paducah Solid Waste Division does, operating as an enterprise fund and serving nearly 9,850 residential accounts and about 2,000 commercial accounts. Residential collection costs 28.00 a month for one city-issued rollout container and includes yard waste collection and voluntary curbside recycling for households that sign up, with the fee on the monthly water bill. Routes run Tuesday through Friday from 4 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., containers go out by 4 a.m. on the collection day, and Public Works on 270-444-8511 answers collection day, container and service questions.Official guidance
What does a Paducah pay pile cost?
There is a minimum fee for a pay pile, added to the water bill, and the final amount depends on the size of the pile and how much of the knuckleboom truck it fills. A supervisor reviews the pile after the person named on the water bill calls Public Works on 270-444-8511, and then calls back to explain the fee. Piles are collected on Thursdays and Fridays, must sit adjacent to the street rather than in an alley, and cannot include hazardous material, tires, bricks, blocks or construction material.Official guidance
