Construction sites generate metal across every trade, and recovering it is money left on the job if it goes in the dumpster. It splits between two family-owned yards in Westbury, minutes apart.
Ferrous — structural steel, rebar, and mixed C&D metal — goes to DPR Scrap Metal at 125 Hopper St. Non-ferrous — copper, wire, brass, and aluminum — goes to Deer Park Recycling at 54 Kinkel St.
Separation on site pays. Pulling copper and wire out of the general steel keeps both grades clean, and every load is weighed and graded in front of you with honest weights on both scales.
For active job sites, roll-off containers and pickups let you stage metal and keep the site clear, and trade accounts are available across the trades so your crews run through one relationship.
Ferrous: DPR Scrap Metal, (516) 280-9353. Non-ferrous: Deer Park Recycling, (516) 333-6145. Serving Long Island and all five NYC boroughs. Not sure which yard a load goes to? Call either number or send a photo before you load.
