Manufacturing Scrap Programs
We offer ongoing scrap programs for manufacturing facilities of all sizes. Whether you generate 500 lbs/week or 50 tons/week, we can set up a program that works for your operation — scheduled pickups, on-site containers, and competitive pricing that adjusts with the market.
High-Value Manufacturing Scrap
The highest-value manufacturing scrap comes from CNC machining operations (carbide inserts, aluminum and stainless drops), electrical manufacturing (copper bus bar, wire), and specialty alloy fabrication (Inconel, titanium, stainless). We pay premium rates for sorted, clean material.
Carbide Tooling Buyback
Worn carbide inserts, end mills, and drill bits are worth $6–$12/lb. We offer tooling buyback programs for machine shops — we pick up your worn tooling on a regular schedule and pay market rates. Call to set up a tooling buyback account.
