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 Trotwood
Trotwood sits on Dayton's northwest edge in Madison Township, with Sycamore State Park spreading out toward our side of the county line. The city carries a large stock of postwar homes and a scattering of older commercial and light industrial property along Salem Avenue. Storm damage and rebuilding work over recent years put an unusual volume of roofing metal, gutter, siding, HVAC equipment, and torn-out plumbing into the waste stream here, and a lot of it is worth money rather than a dumpster fee. Trotwood is also close enough to Brookville that residents can run a partial load out during a lunch break instead of saving up a full trailer, which is why we see repeat Trotwood customers more often than customers from farther south.

Why Trotwood customers need this work
Rehab and teardown work drives a lot of the Trotwood scrap we see. Aluminum gutter and siding, copper water lines and old radiators, cast iron drain stack, steel storm doors, and complete furnace and AC units all come off those jobs. Contractors working Trotwood properties need a nearby yard that will take a mixed trailer without picking through it for an hour, and homeowners clearing a garage or an inherited property need somebody who will tell them plainly what has value and what does not. We grade and weigh each metal separately so a load of mostly steel with fifty pounds of copper in it gets paid correctly.

Why Choose Smitty's Salvage for Scrap Metal Recycling in Trotwood
Trotwood is the closest full-size city to our Brookville yard, which makes the run out Wolf Creek Pike or US 40 a short one even with a loaded trailer. We buy copper, brass, aluminum, steel, cast iron, and stainless from Trotwood homeowners, remodelers, and small shops. Pull in during business hours, get unloading help on the heavy pieces, and watch the weight come up on the scale. Call (937) 248-6810 with a material question before you load, and we will tell you what we take.
Trotwood 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 Trotwood 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.
For Trotwood, the deciding factor is usually drive time. Running west on US 40 or Wolf Creek Pike puts you at our gate in a few minutes, with no interstate merge and no city traffic while towing. That short trip changes the math on a half-full trailer, since it is worth the drive even when the load is small. Once you are here, the yard is clean and organized enough to get in and out quickly, and our crew helps with the heavy lifts rather than watching you struggle. Questions about grades or what we accept get answered at the scale, not after the fact.
