When preparing to bring scrap metal from Oakwood, consider our facility's accessibility via major routes like Far Hills Avenue, which connects directly through the community, or nearby Patterson Road. We recognize Ohio’s variable weather, from snowy winters to humid summers, means materials can degrade differently. Proper storage of your scrap, especially copper and aluminum, can help maintain its quality before transport. Our approach focuses on making the process as straightforward as possible for everyone in the Oakwood area.
Smitty's Salvage accepts a broad range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. This includes common household items like old appliances, shelving, and outdoor furniture frames. We also take construction materials such as copper piping, aluminum siding, brass fixtures, and various forms of steel and iron. For specific items, separating them by material type can simplify the drop-off process.
While not strictly mandatory, sorting your scrap metal by type, such as separating copper from steel or aluminum, is highly recommended. Pre-sorted materials allow for a quicker and more efficient unloading process upon arrival. It also helps ensure each metal type is correctly identified and handled, benefiting the overall recycling effort. If unsure how to sort, our team can provide guidance.
