Eight Scrap Metal Services We Provide in Burlington
We handle metal waste from houses, job sites, and commercial buildings. Here are the eight ways we help you get rid of unwanted metal.
Standard Scrap Metal Removal
This service clears out mixed metal debris from any type of property. We start by collecting loose metal items from yards, garages, and basements. During this step, we often deal with industrial copper-clad steel grounding rods that are too long to load whole. To cut them down to a safe size on-site, we use a manual hydraulic cable cutting tool with replaceable tool-steel cutting jaws. All sorted waste is tracked under the Ontario Environmental Protection Act Regulation 347 Section 12. After that, we stack the cut pieces flat in the truck bed. This means your property gets cleared without putting anyone at risk.
Local Scrap Metal Pickup
We offer fast curbside pickup for Burlington homeowners and small businesses. You do not need to carry anything to the curb yourself. We start by checking the metal pile at your driveway or gate. We often collect weathered galvanized steel HVAC sheet metal ducts left over after home heating system upgrades. To shrink those bulky duct sections on-site, we trim them with hand-operated double-cut sheet metal aviation snips with safety latch. We follow the City of Burlington Property Standards By-law 017-2018 Section 3.6 to keep curbside pathways clear. Next, we stack the pieces and load them safely. This means your street stays open and free of hazards.
Urgent Same-Day Metal Hauling
Some jobs cannot wait until the next day. When our schedule allows, we can send a crew to your address on the same day you call. We start by checking the path to the metal pile. We often haul corrugated aluminum siding sheets and trim panels that storms have torn from homes. To make those sharp aluminum panels safe to handle, we trim them with a battery-powered cordless sheet metal nibbler with 360-degree rotating die. We park and load following the City of Burlington Parking By-law 39-2016 Section 6.2 to avoid blocking other vehicles. Then we lock down the load for transport. This means that you dodge municipal complaints or property fines.
Residential Junk Metal Pickup
We clear heavy metal items from Burlington homes to free up your living space. Pipes, iron fixtures, and old metal shelving are the most common requests. We start by pulling metal debris from basements, crawl spaces, and backyards. We regularly carry out rusted cast-iron sewer and soil pipe sections from aging bathroom drains. To break those thick cast-iron pipes into manageable pieces, we use a manual high-leverage snap cast-iron chain pipe cutter tool. We work within the noise rules set by Burlington City By-law 61-2015 Section 5.1. We also sweep the area clean after the job is done. This means that your home looks tidy the moment we leave.
Commercial Scrap Metal Pickup
Offices, retail shops, and storage facilities build up large amounts of metal waste over time. We handle all the lifting and sorting to keep your workspace safe and clear. We start by removing metal items from storage rooms, loading docks, and server areas. For office cleanouts, we take away discarded steel server rack chassis and rail frames. To roll those heavy steel frames through tight office hallways without marking your walls, we load them onto a heavy-duty structural steel material transport cart with removable mesh side panels. We lift every load using the standards in the Ontario Occupational Health and Safety Act Regulation 851 Section 46. Then we move the cart to our lift-gate truck. This means that your office cleanup goes quickly and without any wall damage.
Construction Site Metal Cleanup
Metal scraps left on building sites cause trips and slow down your crew. We clear job site metal waste fast so your project can keep moving. We start by walking the site and gathering scattered metal pieces. We pick up heavy-gauge structural steel rebar fragments left over from concrete foundation work. To cut long rebar down to a size that fits our truck, we use a portable battery-powered electro-hydraulic rebar cutter tool. All construction metal waste is sorted under the Ontario Waste-Free Ontario Act Regulation 102/94 Section 7 to meet recycling targets. Next, we collect the cut pieces and load them into our bin. This means your job site stays safe and organized.
Industrial Bulk Metal Hauling
Our industrial service handles high-volume metal cleanouts at factories, machine shops, and warehouses. We bring the right lifting gear for heavy, large-scale jobs. We start by clearing raw material scraps from your production floor. We often scoop up bulk brass machining chips and turning scrap that collects under metal lathes. To gather that loose metal debris without spreading it across the floor, we use an explosion-proof industrial dry-vacuum material recovery extraction system. All industrial waste transport follows the Ontario Environmental Protection Act Regulation 347 Section 19. After vacuuming, we seal the collected material and load it onto our truck. This means your production floor stays clean and your crew stays safe.
Eco-Friendly Scrap Metal Recycling
We do everything we can to recycle every piece of metal we collect. We sort all materials to keep them out of Burlington landfills. We begin by checking each piece to figure out whether it is ferrous or non-ferrous. When we find heavy aluminum engine cylinder head assemblies, we separate them from iron and steel parts right away. To remove rusted steel bolts from the aluminum heads without damaging the soft metal, we use a handheld pneumatic chisel scaler tool with non-sparking beryllium-copper scraper blades. Our recycling process follows the Ontario Resource Recovery and Circular Economy Act Section 70. After sorting, we send the clean aluminum to a licensed metal processing yard. This means that more raw materials get saved and less goes to waste.
