Machine shops produce steady, sorted scrap — turnings and chips plus offcuts in steel, stainless, aluminum, and brass. It maps to both yards, minutes apart in Westbury, by metal.
Steel offcuts and turnings are ferrous and go to DPR Scrap Metal at 125 Hopper St. Stainless, aluminum, and brass are non-ferrous and go to Deer Park Recycling at 54 Kinkel St.
Turnings and chips are their own conversation. Because they can carry coolant or oil and vary by how they're collected, call the yard first before you load a barrel so you know how it will be handled. Every load is weighed and graded in front of you either way.
Shops run continuously, so scrap does too. Pickups, containers, and trade accounts are available for machine shops across Long Island and the five boroughs.
Ferrous: DPR Scrap Metal, (516) 280-9353. Non-ferrous: Deer Park Recycling, (516) 333-6145. Turnings, chips, or a mixed alloy you're unsure about? Call either yard first or send a photo before you load.
