The buildup of scrap materials is a process that occurs slowly over time. Most don’t realize that the various junk items they’ve been carrying around in the garage or driveway are taking over their space until it becomes too late. Only once the garage becomes inaccessible without a shovel and you’re consistently parking the car in the street do people realize the scope of the problem.
The problem of scrap metal plagues build and tear sites on an exponential scale. The greater the volume of scrap, along with the increased variety of scrap metal types (iron, steel, etc.) makes it more difficult to toss or recycle without visiting multiple facilities. When buildup gets to this point, it’s time to call on the professionals for mass scrap metal removal.
That old clunker hanging out in your garage. Piles of metal left over from building sites. Leaving metallic scrap in one place for too long is not only unsightly, but also runs the risk of harmful rust formation.
