Recycle Unwanted Household Metal Goods With American Metal Scrap

Think recycling at home is just about aluminum cans? Think again! While we always welcome your soda, beer, and other cans at American Scrap Metals, why not make some extra cash by bringing in other unused non-ferrous metal items collecting dust in your house, attic, basement, or shed?

American Scrap Metals specializes in processing non-ferrous metals, including:

  • Aluminum

  • Copper

  • Lead

  • Nickel and stainless steel alloys

  • Precious metals

  • Tin

  • Titanium

  • Zinc

  • And more

You likely have items around your home or left over after a garage sale containing these valuable non-ferrous metals, just waiting to be turned into cash. Check our pricing page for current rates per pound for these commodities, or contact us for more detailed information about post-consumer scrap.

  • Brass fixtures and knick-knacks

If you’re unsure what kinds of metal an item contains, give us a call and we’ll let you know. Before heading to the dump, come to us and we’ll pay you the current fair market value for your unwanted metal goods. Note: pre-sorted and clean materials, as well as items with nothing else attached, command better prices.

Our Process:

  1. Drop off your materials at 12855 FM 1960 Rd, Huffman, TX 77336 during regular business hours. Note: we do not provide pick-up service for residential customers.

  2. Present your state or federally-issued ID (no ID required for aluminum cans only), and have your items identified and weighed on our state-certified scale.

  3. Receive on-the-spot payment in cash or check.

It’s really simple: put more money in your pocket, and choose the “green” solution you’ve been looking for. So don’t trash it—cash it!
