Getting the best prices for your scrap metal and the quickest service to help your demolition job come in on time and under budget is an essential consideration when choosing a metal recycling partner.

- Personal Service and Contact with Dispatching
If you want service you need to know who you are connecting with at a metal recycling company! At Sahd Metal Recycling, Dan, Aileen and Mike are on call for your needs. Whether it is to report a service need, get expertise on how to prepare the metal the best way or to troubleshoot issues you may be having on site the personal connection to the people who can dictate the dispatching schedule is important. Our team is there for you no matter when you contact us, that is service you can count on!
- Upfront Formula Pricing so you always know what you will be paid
You always get the best pricing for your metal at Sahd Metal Recycling! Our upfront formula pricing ensures that whether it is steel, roofing, brass, copper, aluminum, stainless steel or any other variety of metals that you get the best price and you always know the value of the metal before you sell it to us. How do we do that? Upfront Formula Metal Pricing!
The way it works is that we pick a category that is closest to the metal you are selling and give you the reported sale price we get for that material. We then give you a percentage of our final sale number to account for our trucking and processing costs. You will always be able to count on that percentage being the same, the only variable is the market going up or down. And, because we stay in touch with our customers Aileen will send you monthly updates on where the market is at that point in time along with a read on which way the market may be going. An informed customer who knows the value of their metal always is our best customer!
Taking that information into consideration you can evaluate how short you want to cut the material or how much work you want to do cleaning the material based on the value of the different grades. We know with labor rates that often on these demolition and rigging jobs the material comes in mixed and untouched, but we like to give you all the information necessary for you to make that decision for yourself! In the steel category, cutting material down below 3 or 5 feet will increase the value of your metal but the labor costs could end up being more than the upgrade in material.
- Rigging, Crane Coordination and space to work
One of the most underrated considerations on a demolition or rigging job is the timing of crane, rigging and trucking options and whether the scrap metal yard has the flat and level space to work safely. Our commitment to tight communication with our customers puts a huge value on timing trucking with crane operators. Cost overruns are very common in this field whether doing a demolition or replacing old machinery and often they are due to the crane and trucking schedules not being coordinated. One time the truck is early and one time the crane is early and no matter what if they aren’t synched up the job incurs more costs.
Sahd Metal Recycling has the advantage of a 20 acre facility with two large level unloading areas where your cranes and crews can work safely out of our way and not near any other processing or customer activity. Most scrap yards don’t offer this and it can be a huge bonus for your crews to come in under budget. We also have the ability to offer special off hour access to our yard for your crews which can result in scheduling bonuses for you and much more efficient pricing you can offer your customers up front.
If your material is under 15,000 pounds and has easy access points for our 5 pronged grapple and shear crane to grab we can lift your material off without you supplying a crane. This all needs to be communicated in advance and it’s one of the reasons we keep in constant contact with our customers.
- Sustainable handling of your material
Whether you need a certificate of destruction on the material or machinery or a video of the destruction taking place you have no concerns partnering with Sahd Metal Recycling. We have stringent policies on fluid removal and our scrap yard is one of the cleanest yards you will see, which is an outward sign of our commitment to sustainable processing of your equipment. You will have no concerts that your material will wind up somewhere it shouldn’t when you work with us. You will also be able to rest easy knowing you won’t have any environmental claims working with us.
In summary Sahd Metal Recycling is your choice for recycling metal from demolition projects and heavy machinery replacements. Our service and close project coordination ensures that the scrap process will not be an area that will hurt your ability to finish ahead of schedule and under budget.
