Entering the Recycling Center
Before heading to a metal scrap yard with your materials, you can take some preparatory steps to make the process more efficient. First, segregate your metal items from other materials such as plastic or paper. To meet the yard’s requirement, ensure the items consist of at least 50% metal and set them aside accordingly. Using a magnet to distinguish between ferrous and non-ferrous items is a useful technique that can streamline the unloading and weighing procedures at the yard, ultimately saving time and energy. Although this step is not mandatory, it can be immensely helpful in expediting the overall process.
It’s also necessary to have your identification readily available before arriving at the scrap yard. A valid ID is a prerequisite for the yard to accept any materials, so having it on hand is crucial for a seamless transaction. When visiting the scrap yard, the entrance is conveniently situated on Whitmore Lake Rd. When entering Whitmore Lake Recycling Center, you should adhere to the following procedures:
- Drive onto the yellow scale and continue to the far end.
- Stop at the intercom where our staff will capture your vehicle weight, ask about your material.
- You’ll be directed where to drop your material.
- Come back across the one-way scale for your empty weight.
- Bring your ID into the office and we’ll complete your transaction and issue your payment.
