Charleston Area Metal Recycling

610 48th St SE

(304) 699-1261

Charleston Area Metal Recycling runs a 44,000 square foot indoor scrap yard in Kanawha City and bills it as West Virginia's only indoor yard. Dump trailers under 30 feet unload inside, and a 70 foot truck scale weighs every load. The yard buys aluminum, copper, brass, stainless steel, lead-acid car batteries, electric motors, catalytic converters, radiators, and factory scrap, plus steel in prepared #1 HMS, auto cast, and shredder grades. Roll-off containers, a pick-up truck service, demolition, and cleanup help serve industrial and commercial customers. Scrap vehicles must arrive with the gas tank removed or punctured and with the frame, engine, and transmission intact. The yard refuses tires, fluids, refrigerators and air conditioners with Freon, gas cylinders, and electric or hybrid vehicles and batteries.

SOS Salvage has bought scrap metal and vehicles in Fairmont since 1980, and owners Dale and Cathy Shaffer run the yard on Grafton Road. It pays cash immediately for ferrous metal such as iron and tin, and for aluminum, copper, brass, stainless steel, radiators, batteries, electric motors, starters, alternators, and compressors. A posted price list sets separate rates for clean and dirty material, and the yard turns away aluminum cans, plastic dishwashers, microwaves, and appliances. Roll-off containers in 20 and 30 yard sizes and self-dumping forklift dumpsters for metal only go out to commercial customers around Fairmont for construction, demolition, and storm cleanup jobs, for a fee.
