Nicholas Scrap Metal Inc

Nicholas Scrap Metal sits on a clean, concrete 2-acre yard in North Philadelphia and has bought scrap from the Tri-State area for more than 35 years. The family and locally owned yard buys ferrous metal such as light iron, heavy iron, and cast iron, plus aluminum, copper, brass, wire, stainless, lead, batteries, and catalytic converters. Customers drop off over certified truck and floor scales with visible weight indicators, and staff help sort and unload with ramps, docks, cranes, forklifts, and skid steers. Staff test a sample of unidentified metal to name the type and value. Businesses rent roll-off dumpsters for live pickup, switch-out, or long-term placement, or use dump hoppers, drums, skids, rolling bins, and Gaylord boxes. Spanish is spoken.
