Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

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

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.

Can Kingsport collect swing sets and other metal items?

Swing sets, grills without tanks, pots and pans and small amounts of ferrous metal are on the collection list, and the landfill takes ferrous metals such as swing sets and grills in its demolition stream. Cut large frames into manageable pieces first.Official guidance

Is there a charge for bulky item pickup in Kingsport?

Sometimes. The city collects furniture, mattresses, appliances, tires, small amounts of building material and metal, but lists certain items as chargeable under chapter 86 of the annual fee resolution, and placing a chargeable item at the curb is treated as agreement to be billed. Call 423-229-9451 to confirm the amount before collection day.Official guidance

Where does Kingsport take trash and bulky items after collection?

City crews run through the Brookside Lane landfill, which is a demolition landfill taking wood, metal, construction material, shingles, glass, furniture, block and brick. Brush and pallets are ground into wood chips there, which is how the city extended the landfill's estimated life to about seventy years.Official guidance
