Serving the San Francisco Bay Area

We provide the containers, handle the pickup, and ensure you always have container capacity to efficiently manage your scrap metal. Our industrial-capacity containers are leak-proof so you’ll never have to worry about cutting fluid leakage on your shop floor or yard.

We have a well-established reputation for honesty and we strive every day to maintain the highest standards. Our state-certified scales ensure accurate weights and market value for your scrap metal. If you have significant volumes of surplus metal inventory or usable metal remnants, we can also take those off of your hands and provide market-price compensation. 

We provide a full range of containers to handle your metal scrap needs, from standard 55-gallon drums, to forklift-compatible bins, to roll-off containers. We schedule our scrap metal pickup services to make sure you have the appropriate containers to efficiently collect and manage your scrap metal. If you need a custom container to handle scrap metal from a specific machining process, we’ll work to accommodate your requirements.

A regularly scheduled scrap metal pickup service is a winning arrangement for you, the environment, and your wallet. This service will help you to:

1. Not have another thing to think about. We’ll take care of it all for you.
2. Convert scrap metal into cash to improve your profitability.
3. Reduce waste disposal costs.
4. Minimize the space that scrap metal occupies on your shop floor or yard.
5. Provide a safer operating environment for employees.

We’ve been working to improve the efficiency and economics of scrap metal pickup and recycling for a long, long time. As a teenager, our founder, Jeff, was sorting tons of aluminum in his dad’s scrap metal business. With the lessons learned from that hands-on experience dealing with the logistics of scrap metal pickup, Jeff started Industrial Metal Service in 1999.

Since then, we’ve been providing scrap metal pickup services for thousands of Bay Area manufacturers, fabricators, and machine shops. Over time, we’ve expanded our services and offerings to include metal sales, machinery/equipment teardown and removal, and warehouse cleanup services to help our customers achieve greater efficiency by opening up shop floor space.
