All Fluids need to be removed prior to coming in here. We can not accept the items if they have fluids in them of any kind.
What do I need to do to sell scrap to you?
The State of Virginia requires you to present your ID at the time of the sell and make copies of the seller’s ID and record the vehicle information performing the sale. A signature is required on the ticket of purchase during payout.

NO! All materials sold to us must be from the original owner. We have partnered with the City of Richmond, Henrico, Chesterfield and other surrounding counties in not purchasing materials and holding suspect materials with seller’s information.
I was walking down the road and found a piece of railroad track, tie downs
Sorry we can not buy these items, they belong to the railroad company. We will only purchase it from the railroad company.
I found some wire stamped Virginia Power, Dominion Energy,…?
We will only buy this wire from Dominion Virginia Power or the owner utility company.
I have an old refrigerator, A/C unit,…?
Yes we will take it, it cannot have any Freon in it. We will check at time of purchase for cut lines or a stamp for recovery performed.
Catalytic Converters
in order to get a more accurate price when calling please have the number off of the catalytic converter. It is useful to know what vehicle it comes from but the numbers stamped on it are much better and will speed up the process. The numbers are sometimes on the body, or sometimes stamped on the flat edge. OEM converters are worth more than aftermarket.
Do you sell steel or other items in the yard?
We do not sell Steel, but have a limited amount of Stainless Steel in stock at varying times. You are welcome to come and look at items we have in our front are which may contain some interesting items. No visitors are allowed in the storage area of the yard for safety consideration.
