Machinery scrap covers industrial and shop equipment — presses, lathes, pumps, gearboxes, machine frames, and heavy iron and steel gear taken out of service.
It comes in from plant tear-outs, shop closings, and equipment upgrades. These are dense, heavy pieces, and moving them is a core part of what the yard is set up for.
Machinery is often mixed metal. Frames and housings are usually ferrous, but units can carry motors, copper wiring, aluminum, oils, and fluids. Drain and remove what you reasonably can, keep non-ferrous metals separate, and do not assume every part goes in the same pile.
Machinery is handled at DPR Scrap Metal, the ferrous yard at 125 Hopper St, Westbury, NY. We are built for heavy, high-volume loads, weighed and graded in front of you, with pickups and roll-off containers available.
Before you move a large machine or a mixed-metal unit, call (516) 280-9353 or send a photo so we can tell you how to handle it.
