What Our Customers Say

Can’t really ask for better people to deal with. True family business that treats their customers and vendors like family members as well. Ron and Dan both have always been up front and straightforward, and great to do business with. Always fair when it comes to pricing, and keep a nice clean yard. Happy to recommend Sahd Metal Recycling to anyone in the Columbia, PA area that wants to be treated like family, not just a customer.

Metal Buying FAQs

Yes, we offer customers the ability to come to our yard and buy surplus scrap aluminum, stainless steel and steel. 

When you come into the office and read and sign off on our visitor safety policy you will see that we only sell material from the area of the yard that is marked with either a white line or blue line in the road for our structural steel.  The aluminum and stainless racks are located on the west side of our facility with racks for each on either side of the road below our warehouse.

Only Sahd Metal Recycling personnel can cut the material that we are able to cut for purchase.  Most material is sold “as is”.  If your vehicle or trailer are not long enough we will cut certain types of steel material for a $35 cutting fee (as long as under 1 hour). 

Well, we often say you won’t find it cheaper anywhere else!  Our steel pricing ranges from $.45-$1.00 per pound and our aluminum and stainless are $2 per pound.  For customers looking for specific pricing for material simply google a weight per foot for the dimensions of metal you are looking to buy and you can get very close.

Deb will generally upload a weekly video at the bottom of the Buy Metal page and our YouTube page to give you a good idea of what is in the yard.
