Scrap metal

Special rules apply

Scrap metal is not part of the curbside route. The city's recycling list names Xpress Recycling on Dallas Avenue for ferrous and nonferrous metal.

City cost & eligibility
No drop-off price is published. Confirm the material, quantity, hours and any charge with the recycler before you load.
When & how
Call the recycler on the city's published list, Xpress Recycling at 1210 Dallas Avenue, before travel to confirm its current receiving hours.
Get it ready
Separate ferrous from nonferrous metal and remove non-metal material such as plastic, wood and fabric so the load can be handled and weighed at the yard.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Keep white goods, electronics and construction material out of one pile

White goods are collected only after a request and only when they are separated from limbs and other debris. Televisions, tires, construction material and scrap metal are not part of the curbside route, so use the collection day, a store or recycler drop-off, or a private hauler instead.

For your Dropcurb pickup

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Alexandria's curbside route covers household garbage twice a week and class 3 debris such as limbs and bulky items on a rotating schedule. Televisions, tires, construction material and scrap metal are not part of it. The routes the city does publish are its annual Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day at the City Complex, retailer drop-off for televisions and electronics, store auto centers for used tires, and Xpress Recycling for scrap metal. Rapides Parish ordinance also establishes a sanitary landfill near Esler Field, but the published text is decades old, so confirm current hours, acceptance and fees before hauling.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

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

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.
