EVT Recycling buys scrap metal from a paved drive-in bay just south of the U.S. 60 freeway in Apache Junction. Drivers pull in, staff help unload, and state-certified scales weigh each load, with a metallurgical check on grading. Payment comes from a ticket redeemed at the checkout window, in cash for smaller loads and by check when the non-ferrous value runs higher. The yard takes copper, aluminum, brass, steel, stainless, zinc, tin, nickel, lead, and iron, plus appliances, water heaters, cast iron tubs, cars, motorcycles, radiators, batteries, and wheels. Manufacturing, HVAC, electrical, and plumbing companies get roll-off bins at their facility and scheduled pickups.

Scrap Yards in Apache Junction: FAQ

Do scrap yards in Apache Junction, AZ pay cash?

Many states restrict cash payment for scrap metal, especially copper and catalytic converters, and require a photo ID and a waiting period. Expect a check or electronic payment at some yards. Call ahead to confirm how a yard pays.

What do I need to bring to sell scrap metal?

Bring a valid government photo ID. Many states also require a vehicle plate number and, for some items, proof of ownership. Separate metals by type before you go, since mixed loads are paid at the lowest grade.

How are scrap prices set in Apache Junction, AZ?

Yards price scrap by the pound or ton, based on commodity markets such as COMEX copper, minus their processing costs. Prices change daily, so call two or three yards before selling a large load.
