Get Rid of Old Scrap Metal
If you have old appliances, car parts, or leftover construction materials, you’re sitting on a gold mine. In the 2026 recycling market, metal prices are holding strong, making now the perfect time to clear out your space. Here is the ultimate step-by-step guide to disposing of your scrap metal in Palm Beach County.
1. Identify Your Metals: Ferrous vs. Non-Ferrous
Before you head to a recycling center, you need to know what you have. This simple trick will save you time at the scale:
- The Magnet Test: Grab a refrigerator magnet. If it sticks, you have ferrous metal (steel or iron). These are common but usually have a lower price point.
- Non-Ferrous Metals: If the magnet doesn’t stick, you’ve found the “good stuff”—aluminum, copper, brass, or stainless steel. These metals fetch the highest prices at All Metal Recycling.
2. Prepare Your Scrap for the Best Payout
To get the most money for your air conditioner recycling or old plumbing fixtures, follow these preparation tips:
- Clean Your Copper: Remove any plastic insulation from wires to get the “Bare Bright” copper price.
- Separate Attachments: If you have aluminum siding with steel nails still in it, it’s considered “dirty.” Removing the steel can double your price per pound.
- Drain Fluids: For those looking to sell your junk car for cash, ensure all oil and gas are drained before bringing it to the yard.
3. Find a Local Reliable Recycling Center
You don’t want to drive all over South Florida with a heavy load. All Metal Recycling is conveniently located at 4100 S Military Trail, serving the heart of Lake Worth (Zip Codes: 33463, 33461, 33467).
We are a short drive from landmarks like John Prince Park and the Lake Worth Historical Museum. Choosing a local yard means you keep your fuel costs down and support a business that invests back into the Palm Beach County community.
