Free Scrap Metal Pickup in Great Bend, and What Counts as Metal
If what you're getting rid of is all metal and you're in Great Bend, we'll come and get it and it won't cost you anything.
There's no minimum and no call-out fee. We take it to the scrap yard, so the trip is worth it for us.
What counts
If the load is mostly metal, we pick it up for free.
- Refrigerators, freezers, washers and dryers
- Metal doors and frames
- Pipe, angle iron, rebar
- Sheet metal and metal siding
- Old swing sets, bed frames, filing cabinets
- A recliner, because there's more steel in the frame than there is fabric
What doesn't
A load that's mostly something else with some metal in it is a normal junk removal.
Paint, chemicals, batteries and tires aren't scrap either. We take all of those as part of a junk job. Tires are whatever we pay at the landfill, around $4 each.
Why we do it free
Because scrap has a value at the yard and a trip across town doesn't cost much. If we charged for it, the metal would sit in a garage for another year instead of being recycled.
We also keep usable metal out of the landfill. For the same reason, donations out of our cleanouts go to Golden Belt Thrift Store or the Salvation Army before anything goes to the landfill.
How to Book a Scrap Pickup
Text a photo of the metal to (620) 314-8908, or send it on Facebook, along with the address. If it's mostly metal and it's in Great Bend, the pickup is free.
Leave it somewhere we can get a truck to it, like the end of the driveway. If it's in the backyard or the garage, tell us and we'll come in for it.
In town only
Free scrap pickup is for Great Bend addresses. Outside town we still recycle the metal, and it goes in as part of a normal junk removal at the regular rate.
Not sure whether what you've got qualifies? Send a photo to (620) 314-8908 and we'll let you know.
