Sometimes your junk removal means getting rid of large metal items. And sometimes these items are too large or too heavy to load and dispose of yourself. No worries!

Whether that means old engine blocks, household appliances that no longer work, or piles of scrap iron, removal and disposal can be a challenge.

Is It Bigger Than a Bread Box?

Apparently, way back in the day, that was a common expression of comparison when trying to determine how large or small something was. But who today even knows what a "bread box" is anymore?

So, maybe we should ask, "Is it bigger than a large microwave oven?"

That's probably a more useful visual for most of us these days. And, if your scrap metal junk items really are bigger than a microwave, then you probably aren't to keen on hauling them anywhere by yourself. 

We get it.

Anyone who has tried to muscle a clothes washer or dryer out of a laundry room, or down from a truck bed, understands how difficult and even dangerous moving some large metal items can be. A large capacity washing machine can weigh almost 230 pounds, for example.

And if you are the lucky owner of a few old engine blocks, you probably don't even want to think about hauling those anywhere!

Often, however, it's not so much the size of the individual items, but the total quantity that makes up for a large scrap metal load. 

Unfortunately, this often means that large amounts of scrap metal junk stays inside garages, sheds, and backyards or on the side of loading docks and parking areas. No one wants to move them. But that's truly unfortunate because almost every metal is 100 percent recyclable. 

That includes pretty much anything made out of the following:

• Aluminum
• Brass
• Bronze
• Cast Iron
• Copper
• Steel
• Tin

There are some rare materials that are not recyclable and these include mercury, uranium, and plutonium. But if you have some of those last two, you probably have other problems to worry about beside recycling!

But I Only Have a Few Boxes of Cans and Stuff!

We understand that not all scrap metal is going to be large, or heavy, or even difficult for you to haul yourself. And we know that many people might prefer to take a more DIY approach to metal recycling. 

Understood.

That's why we put together this handy checklist for metal recycling to help you along the way should decide to take the "self-service" scrap metal recycling route:
