Scrap Metal Recycling programs don’t need to be complicated to give you the best return on investment! All you need is a trusted partner with an easy 3 step process to maximize your return for your scrap metal program! Sahd Metal Recycling is that partner for any business in Central Pennsylvania with a concentration in Lancaster, York, Dauphin, Lebanon and Berks Counties.
No Time Read….Here’s a quick summary of our easy 3 step process for scrap metal recycling for your business or project. Step 1, you call email or text and we respond in minutes to set up an appointment to analyze your material or project. We evaluate your scrap and suggest ways to maximize your ROI. Step 2, establish an upfront formula price so you know the market and the value of the metal and set up ticketing and certificate of destruction protocols. Step 3, Trucks Roll! Our personal 24 hour turnaround guarantee begins when you want it to. All that’s left is ticketing and prompt payment for your material!
Step 1: You call, we show up
Well, only if you want us to! We will respond promptly, often within minutes to any text, phone or email inquiry you have in the way you like to be communicated with. We will offer a visit to see your material to evaluate the best solution to maximize the value of your scrap metal or project, but if you prefer to quickly send pictures of your material that works for us too. Closeups of your steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper and brass are very helpful for us to come up with a valuation. This quick response sets the tone for the personal communication you can expect from a partner that wants to establish a long term relationship with your business and you can always reach Dan, Mike or Aileen any time you need us!
Step 2: Upfront Formula Pricing
After getting a chance to evaluate your metal or your project we will give you as much or as little information as you would like on the scrap metal markets! Our belief is that an informed customer is our best case scenario, so we like to give you all the information on the Fastmarkets pricing for scrap steel, stainless and some aluminum alloys and the metal exchange direct LME/Comex markets for copper and brass. Once we help you understand the overall market we help strategize on the best approach for you to maximize the value of your metal. How many self dumping hoppers, rolloffs or small bins will be needed to help you get the most value out of your metal is our greatest concern. Also, we bring our XRF metal analyzer on site to help you understand the relative value of differing alloys in your mix. Purchasing often understands the raw materials you are buying upfront, but many don’t realize that the scrap stream can vary wildly with aluminum alloys 5052 and 6061 having different values. Same for 304 stainless vs 316 and varying grades of copper, brass and steel. Mild steel can be sold at a higher rate to a foundry as opposed to the more expensive AR plate. All of these factors contribute to helping you get the highest value for your metal and we help you understand that upfront on the visit and consequent Upfront Formula Pricing Proposal Stage.
Step 3: Trucks Rolling
Once we agree to build a scrap metal program partnership the trucks roll and service begins. We are often only hours away from service every time you phone, text or call Aileen, Dan or Mike needing a pickup. That personal attention ensures that you are always prioritized and special service requests are also prioritized. We say we offer 24 hour turnaround service as our guarantee, but we do many projects where we plan ahead for 5-6 loads per day. Whether you need rolloff, flatbed or small tub on a stakebody truck, Mike, Dylan, Kevin, Wayne, Ron, Sam and the 24 hour trucking team are ready to serve you.
Conclusion: Prompt Payment, Ticketing and Responsible Scrap Chain of Custody
After this easy 3 step process is done all that’s left is to wait to get paid promptly for your scrap. Sahd Metal Recycling knows how important it is to keep you in good environmental standing and your scrap in the proper chain of custody. Ticketing showing formula pricing by material type and prompt payment along with any needed certificate of destruction is our promise to you!
Having a relationship with your scrap metal dealer can yield many advantages. When you can call, text or email someone who knows you it adds a level of priority, especially on a team that values responsiveness. This can certainly come in handy when you need immediate service, pickups off site, demolition crane timing, service before a storm and countless other scenarios!
Knowing each alloy of the metal you purchase and then scrap and understanding the relative value can help you dramatically increase the value of your scrap metal program. For stainless steel, 316 stainless is a common alloy with small traces of molybdeum, a very expensive element that can almost double the value of 304 stainless–sorting definitely makes sense and we have seen many operations not invest in this. Other examples are 5052 aluminum vs. 6061 sheet plate clip, mild steel vs. AR 400 and countless other differences that take a bit of effort to get a huge return!
Working with local, family owned yards that have been in the business for multiple generations has its benefits. Membership in ReMA shows the company meets basic sustainability standards and will generally keep your scrap in the proper chain of custody. Such yards in our area include Full Circle Recycling, CSR, Krentzman and others who operate with the integrity you need for a partnership that is long lasting.
If a dealer can’t respond to the initial inquiry how can you trust they will give you service when you need it? At Sahd Metal Recycling we believe in a prompt communication, trucking and payment strategy that lines up with our core values and improves every aspect of your recycling program.
We can evaluate metal from pictures but nothing works like an on-site visit. There has been no case where the visit does not yield clarity on our ability to create as positive a pricing formula for you as possible. Looking at the shop floor, demolition job or machinery equipment replacement project always yields insights that help both parties. These visits can help shop floor efficiency and layout of dumpsters in the lot that can maximize your space and create many more advantages!
