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!

I generally do not do reviews. Had a good experience here today. Don't know the name of the young man there but received an assessment very quickly on what they could do for me with no rudeness or unnecessary B.S. If it becomes necessary I would do business with them, no problem. Much better experience than Fairfax Salvage. sometimes it just the little things, like COURTESY.

Over the course of the last year we’ve taken 4 loads of various different things to Rathe’s. Appliances, auto parts, random scrap metal, scrap copper pipe, scrap copper wire, and more. Everyone is very friendly, helpful, fair, and easy to work with! Would recommend them to anyone!

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.
