FAQ & Tips

We buy aluminum cans by the pound. Crush your cans before you bring them in so you can fit more into the same amount of space.

We pay more for “clean” material. These are non steel materials such as aluminum, copper, or brass that are free of contaminants. Common contaminants are: wood, plastic, steel, rubber, adhesives, and paint. If you clean your material before coming in it will mean more money in your pocket. If you have any questions on how to clean your material please ask our staff. They are happy to help.

Bringing in Steel? We pay more for steel that is “prepared”. This means it is clean (see above) and cut into lengths shorter than 5′. Take a few extra minuets to prepare your steel and make sure you get the most for your scrap.

Recycling with Millcreek Metals is simple. Bring your materials to either location. For small loads, pull directly up to the loading dock and our friendly support staff will weigh your materials and give you a payment ticket. For large loads pull onto the scale located adjacent to the office. After your weight has been recorded you will be instructed where to take your material. Take your purchase ticket back to the office and they will pay you.

• 1- Bring your state ID, Military ID or Passport
