Demolition generates metal by the container, and most of it is ferrous — structural steel, rebar, beams, joists, and mixed C&D metal. That goes to DPR Scrap Metal at 125 Hopper St in Westbury, the iron and steel yard.
Non-ferrous gets separated out. Copper, brass, aluminum, and wire pulled from a tear-down are worth pulling aside and running to Deer Park Recycling at 54 Kinkel St. Separation on site is where a demo job protects its margin.
Volume takes planning. Roll-off containers and pickups are available, so you can stage steel on site and keep the job moving instead of chasing loads.
Every load is weighed and graded in front of you, honest weights, and trade accounts are open to demolition contractors working Long Island and all five NYC boroughs.
Steel and C&D metal: DPR Scrap Metal, (516) 280-9353. Non-ferrous: Deer Park Recycling, (516) 333-6145. Mixed or unsure? Call either yard or send a photo before you load.
