Sell scrap steel & iron in Birmingham, AL

Heavy melting steel, prepared steel, brake rotors and tin. Bring it by the truckload.

Ferrous scrap is anything with iron in it, and anything a magnet sticks to. It's lower in value per pound than non-ferrous, so it pays by volume.

Thick structural steel, plate, beams and heavy pieces, generally 1/4 inch and thicker.

Ferrous

#1 Prepared

Heavy steel cut to size and ready for the mill.

Rotors scrap at Rather Recycling in Birmingham, AL
Ferrous

Rotors

Brake rotors and drums. Cast iron, heavy and easy to stack.

Light iron

Tin

Light-gauge steel like sheet metal, shelving, appliance shells and other thin steel.

Pull the non-ferrous first

Steel often hides copper, brass and aluminum. Pull motors, wiring, brass valves and aluminum parts off before you bring the steel in. Those pieces are worth more on their own.
