What Types of Scrap Metal Does Clear Recycling Accept?
Our Clinton scrap metal recycling yard will follow the same accepted-material guidelines as our other yards in North Carolina. Weight, condition, cleanliness, and metal composition can affect how scrap metal is graded and priced.
Steel and Iron
Steel and iron from construction scrap, equipment, structural components, fabrication leftovers, and property clean outs is one of the most common types of metal we recycle. Clear Recycling can recycle steel and iron from a variety of materials, including steel beams, sheet iron, cast iron, and other qualifying ferrous scrap.
Appliances and Automotive Scrap
We also accept qualifying scrap appliances, engines, transmissions, radiators, car parts, and eligible junk vehicles. Some items may require additional documentation, so it is best to contact us at 919-775-7951 to be sure we can accept materials at our scrap yard.
How Does Clinton, NC Scrap Metal Recycling Work?
Our scrap metal recycling process follows the same basic approach used at all of our Clear Recycling facilities.
1. Bring in Your Scrap
Customers will follow staff directions for weighing and unloading. Separating steel, copper, aluminum, and other metals ahead of time can speed up grading, but our team can also help identify materials at the yard.
2. Weigh and Grade the Material
Scrap metal is weighed and sorted according to material type and grade. Mixed metals, attached non-metal materials, and contamination can affect classification.
3. Receive Payment Based on Current Market Conditions
The prices at our scrap yard moves with commodity markets. Payment depends on the type of metal, its grade and weight, and market conditions when the load is processed. Pricing can change between visits, so we welcome you to contact us if you have any questions.
Clinton Scrap Metal Recycling Pickup and Roll-Off Containers
Our Clinton location offers scrap pickup and roll-off container service for qualifying commercial, industrial, construction, and higher-volume recycling needs. For projects or facilities that generate scrap over time, a container can reduce repeated trips by allowing material to be collected on-site for pickup.
Businesses interested in our services in the Clinton area can contact Clear Recycling to discuss the type and approximate amount of scrap normally generated.
