Contractors

Whether you are an electrical, plumbing, HVAC, demolition, or a general contractor—or another type of contractor altogether—the expert team at Gardner Metal Recycling stands ready to serve your scrap metal recycling needs. We know you’re looking for someone honest that you can trust to deliver transparent weighing, competitive pricing, and dependable service.

We don’t hide our process or our scales. You’ll be able to see your scrap metal load weight going in and going out. Afterward, we pay you the full posted rate on the spot.

Do you have a large project? We will customize a plan for your business to make recycling your scrap metal quick and easy. We can drop off bins or roll-offs right at the job site, and return to pick them up at a convenient time. Or you can bring your scrap right to us if that’s easier. Want a combination of both? We can make that happen, too.

Gardner Metal Recycling knows your time is valuable. That’s why our friendly staff makes things simple and straightforward so you can be unloaded, get paid, and be on your way.
