Fabrication scrap is clean and predictable — production offcuts, drops, and remnants from whatever you run. Where it goes depends on the metal, and both yards are minutes apart in Westbury.
Steel drops and offcuts are ferrous and go to DPR Scrap Metal at 125 Hopper St. Stainless, aluminum, and brass remnants are non-ferrous and go to Deer Park Recycling at 54 Kinkel St.
Because shop scrap tends to be sorted by alloy already, it grades well. Keeping stainless separate from aluminum, and both separate from steel, is the difference between a mixed grade and a clean one. Every load is weighed and graded in front of you.
Steady production means steady scrap. Pickups, containers, and trade accounts are available so fab shops across Long Island and the five boroughs can clear drops on a schedule that fits the shop.
Ferrous: DPR Scrap Metal, (516) 280-9353. Non-ferrous: Deer Park Recycling, (516) 333-6145. Running a mixed bin or not sure how something grades? Call either yard or send a photo.
