Scrap Metal Pickup and Recycling Services
Recycling scrap metal is one of the most environmentally impactful actions individuals and businesses can take. Metals like aluminum, copper, steel, and brass are highly recyclable and can be reused to create new products, reducing the need for mining and conserving natural resources. However, handling scrap metal can be challenging due to its weight, bulk, and potential safety hazards.
At Nova Junk, we provide reliable and eco-friendly scrap metal pickup and recycling services to simplify the process. Whether clearing out a construction site, upgrading appliances, or simply decluttering, we’re here to help you responsibly dispose of scrap metal.
Why Recycle Scrap Metal?
Recycling scrap metal isn’t just about clearing space; it’s a critical practice that benefits the environment, the economy, and your local community.
Conserve Natural Resources: Recycling metal reduces the need for mining, which depletes finite natural resources and causes significant environmental harm.
Reduce Energy Consumption: Creating products from recycled metals requires far less energy than producing them from raw materials. For instance, recycling aluminum uses 95% less energy than extracting it from bauxite ore.
Cut Down on Landfill Waste: Metal waste takes up valuable landfill space and can decompose for decades or even centuries. Recycling diverts these materials from landfills.
Support the Economy: The scrap metal recycling industry creates jobs and supplies materials for manufacturing, contributing to economic growth.
Earn Potential Cash Value: Certain metals, such as copper and aluminum, have high resale value. You can earn some extra money by recycling these materials while helping the planet.

What Our Clients Are Saying
Here’s what a few of our clients had to say about their experiences with Nova Junk: proud of the positive feedback we receive from our client:
“Completely amazing experience working with them! They were quick and responsive when I was getting quotes, and arrived on time first thing in the morning on the scheduled day, well-prepared, organized, and very polite. I was shocked how fast their team was; they cleared out 3 floors including the attic in less than 1 and a half hours and were careful of narrow access ways and stairwells. They filled 2 trucks. I really appreciated working with them and the professionalism of their team. Thank you!!! Absolutely recommend and already did to a neighbor looking to clear her attic!”
