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 Kettering
Kettering is one of the larger suburbs in Montgomery County and carries an enormous stock of mid-century ranch and split-level homes, most of them built when copper plumbing and copper-wound electrical were standard. Those houses are now deep into their second or third round of mechanical replacements, so water heaters, furnaces, central air units, aluminum storm windows, and copper supply lines come out regularly. The city's roots run through the region's automotive and engineering history, and there is still a strong contractor presence serving the neighborhoods around Lincoln Park and Dorothy Lane. Kettering sellers tend to bring clean, well-sorted residential loads rather than industrial volume, which is the kind of material that rewards accurate grading the most.

Why Kettering customers need this work
For Kettering, the money is usually in the non-ferrous. A mid-century house being updated gives up copper supply line, brass valves and hose bibs, aluminum storm windows and screens, and copper or aluminum coil out of the HVAC equipment. Those items are light compared to farm steel, so grading accuracy is what determines whether the trip was worth making. We weigh copper, brass, and aluminum separately and walk you through the brass color split before anything is paid, since mixing yellow and red brass costs real money per pound. Small clean loads get the same handling here as a full trailer does.

Why Choose Smitty's Salvage for Scrap Metal Recycling in Kettering
Kettering sellers run northwest to our Brookville yard with copper, brass, aluminum, stainless, steel, and cast iron. We grade and weigh each metal separately, help with unloading, and pay at the office window the same day. The lot is clean and the traffic pattern is simple, which matters when you are towing a trailer for the first time. Call (937) 248-6810 before you load if you want to know how we handle a specific material or how to sort a mixed pile.
Kettering 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 Kettering 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.
Kettering has closer options, so people come out to Brookville for how the load is handled rather than for the distance. Every metal is graded and weighed on its own instead of being averaged into one number, brass gets split by color before payment, and the staff explains what they are doing at the scale. For a homeowner selling scrap for the first time, that transparency is the difference between feeling handled and feeling taken. The yard is clean, the crew helps unload, and payment is completed at the office window before you leave. Saturday hours from 9 to 2 make the drive workable on a weekend.
