Thanks, Serge, for the quick, professional, and reasonably priced service. Will use you again - highly recommend!
Overview
The swing set the kids outgrew is rusting into the lawn. The dead washer has been beside the garage since spring. Behind the fence: leftover chain link, a bent gate, two rims and an engine block somebody meant to sell. None of it fits in the bin, and the scrap yard wants it sorted, loaded and weighed by you.
We load it where it sits, including the engine block, and take it to a metal recycler. Same-day is usually possible, small loads start at $99, and the price is confirmed before we lift anything; see our upfront pricing. No sorting, no borrowed truck, no line at the yard.

What We Handle: Full-Service Scrap Metal Hauling
We pick up metal from homes and businesses across Sacramento and the surrounding counties. Ferrous or non-ferrous, rusted or clean, bolted down or scattered across a yard: our team loads it. If it is heavy and made of metal, it is probably on one of the two lists below.
Residential Scrap Metal Removal
Homeowners collect metal without noticing: the swing-set frame in the back corner, the washer that quit in the garage, the fencing left over from a project three summers ago. The usual residential load:
- Old appliances: washers, dryers, refrigerators, ovens (refrigerant is handled at the facility)
- Steel and aluminum fencing, gates, railings and handrails
- Rain gutters and downspouts
- Metal shelving, bed frames, desks and filing cabinets
- Car parts, engine blocks and rims (drained of fluids)
- Lawnmowers, grills and outdoor equipment
- Copper piping and wiring
- Miscellaneous scrap: brackets, tools, hardware, sheet metal
Commercial & Construction Scrap Metal Removal
Renovation tear-outs produce steel studs, ductwork and conduit; warehouse cleanouts turn up old racking, equipment frames and machinery nobody has run in years. We work around the job site, including weekends and early mornings, and take:
- Metal-only construction loads: rebar, steel beams, flashing, brackets
- Warehouse racking and shelving systems
- HVAC ductwork and equipment
- Industrial machinery and equipment frames
- Office furniture: metal desks, filing cabinets, cubicle frames
- Retail fixtures and display units
- Fencing and security gates
How It Works
Four steps, and the heavy ones are ours:
- 01
Call or Book Online
Call or text (916) 770-7619, or book online. A photo of the pile is enough to price it. Tell us if anything is bolted down or buried and we bring the right tools.
- 02
We Show Up and Give You a Price
The crew looks at the metal and the path to the truck, and confirms the number before touching anything. If the pile is smaller than the photo suggested, the price goes down, not up.
- 03
We Load Everything Up
Scattered across a backyard, stacked in a garage or spread over a job site: we gather it, cut down what will not fit, and load it. Engine blocks and steel beams included.
- 04
We Clean Up and Recycle
We sweep the spot, then drive the load to a local metal recycler. Scrap metal does not go to Kiefer Landfill with the rest of the week’s junk; it is worth more sorted, and the yard takes it by weight.
What We Take
A quick reference of the metals we haul most, in rough order of how often they show up:
- Steel
- Aluminum
- Copper: piping, wiring, tubing, fittings
- Iron
- Brass: fixtures, valves, fittings
- Stainless Steel
- Mixed Metals
- Automotive
- Fencing & Gates
What we cannot take: lead-acid batteries, chemical drums, propane tanks and anything radioactive. Metal buried inside mixed demolition debris is a dumpster job, not ours. If you are unsure about an item, text a photo and we will tell you straight.
The Heavy Metal Jobs Customers Wrote About
Almost nobody writes a review that says the word scrap. They write about the thing that was made of it. Four examples, unedited, from our Google and Yelp reviews:
“Serge was awesome, kept me up to date on his arrival time, worked nonstop upon arrival, and tenaciously disassembled the monstrous shelving units that had been welded in place 30 years and 3 owners ago!”
Mary W., Yelp“They were very swift to respond and schedule the removal of our wood stove insert. They took great care during the removal process to ensure no damage to our house. The wood stove was very heavy and dirty. Thanks for your excellent work.”
Matt Forrest, Google“We first hired them to cut up and remove an old spa that we inherited when we bought our home. They did such a good job that we hired them again to remove a built-in BBQ.”
Jayme T., Yelp“Serge responded with a very competitive quote and a commitment for removal within 48 hours, they actually got to it the next day. I had lengthy gutters at the side of the house, two dressers, an entertainment center, fence boards, and various items.”
Mike S., YelpWelded shelving, a heavy wood stove insert, a spa cut into pieces, forty feet of gutter: that is a normal week. Same-day service is possible on most calls booked before noon, we are a licensed and insured West Sacramento company rather than a franchise, and the quote we give on site is the number on the invoice. All 255 reviews are on one page.
Service Area: Sacramento and Surrounding Cities
From a Midtown bungalow basement to a job site off Sunrise Boulevard in Rancho Cordova, the truck comes to the metal. We serve:

- Natomas (North and South Natomas)
- Elk Grove
- Roseville
- Folsom
- Rancho Cordova

Scrap Metal Removal Pricing
You pay for the share of the truck the metal fills. Same tiers as the rest of our work, with scrap examples:
| Load | Typical price | What that looks like |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum | $99 to $150 | A washer and a grill, or a bundle of gutters |
| Quarter truck | $180 to $280 | A swing set, a bed frame and a few shelving units |
| Half truck | $320 to $480 | A fence line of chain link and posts, or a warehouse rack |
| Full truck | $850 to $1,000 | A metal-only tear-out: studs, ductwork, conduit |
Real weight (engine blocks, steel beams, machinery) can add labor, and a basement or an upper floor adds carry time. Metal mixed into demolition debris needs a C&D hauler or a dumpster instead.
When you do not need us: if you own a truck and the metal is clean and sorted, a scrap yard will usually pay you for it rather than charge. We are the call when it is heavy, buried, rusted into the ground, or you want it gone today. No hourly rate, no fuel surcharge, and $20 off when you book online.

Serge was awesome to work with. I am very grateful I found his company. I contacted them on a Tuesday and by Wednesday the hot tub was gone. He was on time and worked hard. Left the area cleaned up and I’m so excited to have my backyard back!

Messaged TCJ Hauling in need of getting rid of some junk that was accumulating in the garage. Not only was the company able to come the same day but were also very punctual and realiable which above all things mean the most me. The service was fast and the vehicle used was modern and able to accommodate for all the items I needed to be removed. Very Prosfessional and accommodating will definitely call them again and tell my friends and family to do the same. Thank you TCJ Hauling!
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does scrap metal removal cost in Sacramento?
Small loads start at $99 to $150, and a full truck of metal runs $850 to $1,000. Volume sets most of it; weight and access adjust it. We give the number on site before we start, and texting a photo first gets you an estimate within the hour most days.
Do you pick up single items or only large loads?
Both. One dead refrigerator is a minimum load; a job site full of steel and rebar is a few truckloads. We do not turn down the small ones.
What happens to the scrap metal after you pick it up?
It goes to a local metal recycler in the Sacramento area, where steel, aluminum, copper and iron are sorted and processed. Metal is the one thing we can promise never goes to the landfill.
Can you remove scrap metal from a construction site?
Yes, for metal-only loads such as steel, rebar or ductwork, and we work with contractors, property managers and business owners across Sacramento. We do not take mixed construction debris or run recurring pickups on an active site; see construction debris removal for what we take and what we do not.
Do I need to sort my scrap metal before you arrive?
No. As long as the load is metal, we do the sorting at the recycler. Show us where it is, including the pieces still bolted to the fence, and the crew handles the rest.
