Rathe'a metal recycling center is awesome. It is conveniently located close to Burlington and it's hours are very business friendly. . I love that I am able to recycle my old metal waste that my father has collected for 60 years. Added bonus, I get to converse with Regina on the intercom who operates the the weigh scales and checks you in and out. Great service w great people. It doesn't get any better than that.

They paid me $615 more than the dealership offered me for trade in! I talked to Ben, got the offer and he picked the car up less than 2 hours later. You cannot get more efficient than that!

Depending on the age of the vehicle you may need a title to sell your car. Vehicles that are 15 years or older do not require a title. For vehicles that do not require a title, we still require proof of ownership including an old registration, insurance card, or bill of sale.
We accept many different types of metals including steel, aluminum, copper, brass, wire, and so much more! Check out our scrap metal recycling page to see a more complete list of the items we buy.
There is no rental fee associated with a scrap metal dumpster. Depending on your location, the only cost you pay is a transport fee. Once the dumpster is full, we’ll pick it up and pay your for the metal! For more information check out our scrap metal dumpster page.
