★★★★★

"I was doing a family estate clean-out and completely overwhelmed. At least four truckloads of metal, and I had no idea how I was going to deal with it all. Frank came out over a few days and removed everything. He is kind, courteous, and genuinely cares about keeping things out of the landfill. He made what felt like an impossible task completely manageable. I cannot recommend him highly enough."

Questions people ask

Is Frank still picking up scrap metal?

Not right now. Pickups are paused and Frank is not taking new requests.

What can I do with my scrap metal in the meantime?
