Brake rotors and drums are heavy, dense ferrous castings from vehicle brake systems. They are a steady source of scrap for repair shops, mechanics, and anyone doing brake work.
Most come in loose and bare after being pulled off a vehicle. They are compact but heavy, so even a modest pile carries real weight.
Rotors run cleanest with hardware off. Bolts, clips, pads, and any attached non-ferrous parts can affect a load, so pull what comes off easily and keep other metals separate. Aluminum hubs or hats are non-ferrous and should not go in with cast rotors.
Rotors are handled at DPR Scrap Metal, the ferrous yard at 125 Hopper St, Westbury, NY. Loads are weighed and graded in front of you, with pickups and roll-off containers available for shops moving volume.
Not sure how your rotors will grade or how to sort them? Call (516) 280-9353 or send a photo before you load or haul them in.
