Our primary focus is recycling metal.  We purchase ferrous and non-ferrous metals including, but not limited to: iron, steel, aluminum, brass, copper, stainless steel, lead, and zinc.  For a representative list of items we do and do not accept, click here.

Ferrous metals mostly contain iron.  Depending on the item, they have small, residual amounts of other elements mixed in to give the item its required properties.  Ferrous metals are magnetic and give little resistance to rust and corrosion.

Non-ferrous metals do not contain iron, are not magnetic, and generally are more resistant to rust and corrosion.

We accept clean cardboard for a small fee.  We do not accept any other grades of paper, plastic, wood, or glass.  For a representative list of items we do and do not accept, click here.

At Brenner Recycling, we believe one man’s scrap can be another man’s treasure. Feel free to give us a call to inquire about availability. Please note: Any metal purchased from the scrap yard is sold as-is. Brenner Recycling does not provide warranty or guarantee, in any way, to the working condition or safety of any item purchased for re-use. Additionally, we reserve the right to refuse to sell any item at any time for any reason.

We employ advanced techniques such as torching, hydraulic cutting, and baling to further separate and process scrap metal, ensuring it meets stringent steel mill and foundry specifications for sale. Once it reaches the required standards, we sell and transport the processed metal, facilitating its transformation into new products through melting.
