They offer excellent prices for copper and other non ferrous metals. If you have a lot of brass, be sure to separate yellow and red from the "irony brass", otherwise you will lose 50¢ per pound on the yellow as they will count it as mixed.

Serving Dayton
Dayton is a manufacturing city with the housing stock and building stock to match. Neighborhoods like South Park and St. Anne's Hill are full of pre-war houses running original copper supply lines, cast iron drain stack, and cast iron radiators, and the rehab work happening in those areas produces steady non-ferrous scrap. Along the Great Miami River corridor and the old industrial belts, shop cleanouts and equipment changeovers turn out steel, stainless, and machine scrap in volume. Dayton also has a deep bench of mechanical, electrical, and HVAC contractors whose trucks accumulate copper line set, wire, and aluminum coil every week. Our Brookville yard is roughly fifteen minutes northwest of the city core by I-70, which keeps that trip practical for a working crew.

Why Dayton customers need this work
The Dayton loads we see skew toward trade scrap: copper wire and pipe, HVAC coil and line set, brass valves and fittings, stainless from restaurant and shop work, and structural steel offcuts. Those materials all pay differently, and a yard that dumps them into one pile costs the seller real money. We sort and weigh by grade, explain the split on brass and copper before the metal leaves your truck, and handle both a single bucket and a full trailer without changing how the load gets treated. For crews in Dayton clearing job sites on a schedule, the same-day payment at the window matters as much as the rate does.

Why Choose Smitty's Salvage for Scrap Metal Recycling in Dayton
Dayton customers make the run northwest on I-70 or US 40 to reach our Brookville yard, and most say the trip beats fighting traffic downtown. We buy copper, brass, aluminum, stainless, steel, and cast iron from Dayton homeowners, mechanical contractors, and small fabrication shops. Bring the load in during business hours, get help unloading, and take payment at the office window the same day. Call (937) 248-6810 before you load if you want to know how we grade a particular material.
Dayton customers choose us because we treat every project like it's our own — no upselling, no surprises, just straightforward work that gets the job done right.
Whether you live in Dayton or just need a reliable team nearby, we're a short drive from Brookville and happy to walk you through every recommendation before any work begins.
Dayton has options, so the reason people drive out here is how the transaction runs. Loads get graded in front of you, brass and copper get separated by grade instead of averaged down, and questions get answered by somebody who actually knows the material. The yard is clean and the drive lane is organized, which is not universal in this business and makes a real difference when you are towing. The trip northwest on I-70 is short, the Saturday hours cover people who work weekdays, and payment happens before you pull out. For repeat sellers, that predictability is the whole point.
