Scrap & Metal We Take
If it's metal, we'll haul it — and we'll pay you for the valuable loads.
Detroit's Scrap & Metal Haulers
Metal shouldn't cost you money to get rid of — it should put money in your pocket. Somewhere along the way, junk removal companies started charging to haul scrap that they turn around and sell for a profit. Anvil was built on the opposite idea: your scrap has value, we pay you for it, and the pickup is free either way.
For sixteen years we've hauled scrap and metal across Metro Detroit — from single water heaters in a garage to tons of machinery out of a shuttered shop — and we've recycled over nine thousand loads. We show up same-week, bring the crews and gear to move the heavy stuff, weigh valuable loads transparently and pay you fair market rates, and recycle everything through licensed facilities so it stays out of the landfill. Homeowners clearing a yard, contractors clearing a jobsite, businesses clearing a facility — we make getting rid of metal fast, free, and often profitable. That's how metal removal should work.
- ✓16 years, 9,000+ loads recycled
- ✓Free pickup — we pay for metal
- ✓Same-week, heavy-lift crews
- ✓Licensed recyclers, no landfill

Why Our Metal Pickup Wins
Three reasons Detroit chooses us over a charge-you-to-haul junk company.
You Get Paid, Not Billed
We pay for valuable metal at transparent, fair market rates — where other haulers charge you to take the exact same load.

Machinery, presses, vehicles, tanks, industrial metal — we bring the crews and equipment to haul what others turn down.
It All Gets Recycled
Every load goes to licensed recyclers, not the landfill — responsible metal removal you can feel good about.
Metal We've Cleared
A few recent scrap and metal pickups across Metro Detroit.
Trusted Across Metro Detroit
We cleared out an old machine shop and Anvil hauled off tons of scrap metal, dead equipment, and an ancient press in a single day. Not only was pickup free, they actually cut us a check for the load. Their crew showed up on time, worked hard, and swept the floor when they were done. For a business trying to clear space fast, this is exactly how it should work. Couldn't recommend them more.
I had a pile of scrap in my yard for years — old fencing, a water heater, rusted patio furniture, and a boat trailer. Anvil came out same week, loaded all of it, and it didn't cost me a dime. The two guys were friendly and fast, and my yard looks huge now. They clearly know metal and recycling. If you've got scrap sitting around, just call them — it's the easiest cleanup you'll ever do.
As a general contractor I generate a lot of scrap metal — ductwork, copper, conduit, old appliances from tear-outs. Anvil is my standing call. They come to my jobsites, take all the metal, and their pricing on the valuable loads is fair and transparent. Fast, reliable, and they keep my sites clean and safe. Having one metal hauler I can count on has made my whole operation smoother. Solid, professional outfit.
Scrap & Metal Removal FAQ
Do you really pay for scrap metal?
Yes — for valuable loads, we pay you. Ferrous and non-ferrous metals like copper, aluminum, brass, steel, and catalytic material have real market value, and we weigh your load transparently and pay fair market rate on the spot. Even for lower-value loads, our pickup is always free, so you're never charged to have metal hauled away. It's the opposite of a typical junk company that bills you to take metal they then sell. Tell us what you've got and we'll tell you what it's worth.
Is pickup really free?
Always. Whether your load is valuable enough to pay you for or not, we never charge you to haul scrap and metal. We make our money on the recycling side, so the pickup is free to you — no trip fee, no labor charge, no surprise invoice. That's true for a single appliance in your garage or tons of metal out of a commercial facility. Free to haul, and we pay you when the load has value.
What kinds of metal do you take?
Just about anything metal: appliances (fridges, washers, dryers, water heaters, AC units), scrap steel and iron, copper and aluminum, brass, machinery and shop equipment, junk cars and auto parts, trailers, fencing, ductwork, conduit, tanks, structural beams, rebar, and demolition metal. If you're not sure whether something counts, send a photo and we'll tell you. If it's metal or has significant metal in it, chances are we'll haul it — free, and often for cash.
How fast can you pick up?
Usually within the same week, and sometimes same or next day for straightforward loads. Just call or send photos and we'll schedule a pickup window that works for you. For contractors and businesses we can set up recurring jobsite pickups so metal never piles up. Big loads that need extra crew or equipment we'll schedule quickly too — we bring the muscle and gear to move heavy machinery, vehicles, and industrial metal without slowing you down.
Do you handle heavy machinery and vehicles?
Absolutely — the heavy stuff is our specialty. Presses, motors, HVAC units, shop machinery, junk cars, trailers, boats on trailers, tanks, and structural metal are all in a day's work. Our crews bring the equipment and manpower to safely remove and load heavy items that most junk haulers won't touch, from tight garages to commercial facilities. For vehicles we can handle title paperwork where it's needed. If it's metal and it's heavy, we've almost certainly hauled one before.
How do we get started?
Call (313) 555-0192 or send a few photos of your scrap and metal through the form, and we'll give you a free pickup window and a load estimate. Show us what you've got — a garage, a yard, a shop, a jobsite — and we'll handle the rest: haul it fast, pay you for the valuable metal, sweep up, and recycle everything. Free pickup, cash for loads, same-week service. Getting rid of metal has never been easier.
