Scrap metal

Accepted with preparation

Metal household items are scheduled as metal large items, and the city lists air conditioners, metal desks, bed rails, bikes, carts, grills and metal tubs among them.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. York City curbside customer within the five item weekly limit; no additional fee applies to a scheduled large item collection.
When & how
Schedule the metal item seven to ten days ahead, and note a cast iron or clawfoot tub and an all-metal bedspring as metal items when booking.
Get it ready
Empty fuel and fluids, remove propane tanks, and tie loose metal parts together so the crew can lift the load safely. Keep car parts and metal poles with concrete attached out of the booking, because the city refuses those.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Wait for the callback and the email

Submitting the large item request form does not book the pickup. An attendant calls back within 48 hours, the resident also gets an email confirmation, and nothing should go outside until both have arrived. Collections are scheduled seven to ten days ahead.

For your Dropcurb pickup

Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.

With a new purchase

Private handling for refused material

Masonry, shingles, garage doors, car parts, pianos, pool tables and similar items

Cost & conditions
The city sets no rate for this material and refuses to schedule it, so the private hauler or transfer station quotes its own price.
Arrange it
Contact a private hauler or a transfer station directly, because the city will not collect these items at the curb or as a scheduled large item.

The city list of refused items is described as examples rather than a complete list, so confirm anything unusual before booking.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

York does not run a public transfer station for residents, so self-hauling means the county routes. Electronics go to the York County Solid Waste Authority drop-off because state law bans them from collection, used motor oil goes to the same authority's listed facilities, and heavy project material such as masonry, shingles and garage doors has to be handled by a private hauler.

worth knowing.

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

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.
