Frequently asked questions

What ID do I need to sell scrap?

Bring a current, valid government-issued photo ID. Vehicles also require a title in your name or properly signed over to you.

Do I need an appointment?

No. Drive onto the scale and staff will walk you through weigh-in, unloading, and payment.

How does drop-off differ for ferrous vs non-ferrous?

Ferrous enters Gate 4 onto the truck scale, unloads, re-weighs, and pays inside the office. Non-ferrous enters Gate 2 at the loading docks and pays at the ATM inside.

I don’t understand how this place is real. Dropped an AC unit out of my window and was dreading having to pay to take it to one of the GR recycling centers but I’m so happy I found Padnos… THEY paid ME for it!! And for someone who never understands what I’m supposed to do at a drop off site the process could not have been more straightforward and well-explained. Super friendly staff. Was in and out in 10 minutes. Can’t wait for everyone I know to get sick of me talking about how great of an experience I had!!

Austin with Mr. lees picked up a car for me and it couldn’t have better a better experience. Told me that he uses this scrap yard and was able to give me a great price because of it. Got paid and got my yard cleaned up. I’ll be sure to call him next time I need a vehicle scrapped

I have always had a top notch experience recycling my metal at Padnos. I'm just a residential homeowner with a small amount of metal from time to time but they treat me as a valued customer. I especially want to commend Kevonte in the non-ferrous department. He is always very friendly and helpful - one of the best customer service employees I have ever met. Highly recommended!
