Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about scrap drop-offs, industrial container pickup, and certified metal recycling with United Metal's & Tooling.

What metals do you accept at your facility?

We accept both ferrous metals (such as heavy melting steel, plate and structural iron, cast iron, and motor blocks) and non-ferrous metals (including bare bright copper, brass, aluminum extrusion, stainless steel, and lead).

How do roll-off container services work for job sites?

We deliver industrial-grade roll-off dumpsters directly to your shop or construction site. Once full, schedule a pickup and our drivers will swap containers, weigh your load, and provide documented payment.

Do you offer premium pricing for large quantities?

Yes. We provide tiered, premium rates for high-volume commercial producers, manufacturing plants, and demolition projects. Contact our desk directly for custom contract quotes.

Can the general public bring scrap metal to your yard?

Absolutely. Our Detroit facility accommodates public drive-ins as well as commercial fleets. Drive onto our certified truck scale or bring smaller loads into our non-ferrous sorting area.

How do you determine current scrap metal rates?

Our prices are pegged to daily market commodity indices (COMEX and LME). We ensure our clients receive fair, transparent, and updated rates every day of the week.

What types of surplus tools and machinery do you purchase?

We inspect and buy functional industrial machinery, heavy-duty power tools, metal fabrication equipment, tooling inserts, and manufacturing surplus. Inquire online or visit our yard to evaluate stock.
