Scrap Metal Recycling Near Me: Our Service Areas
Searching for “scrap metal recycling near me”? Fort Lauderdale Scrap at 745 NW 7th Ave, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33311 serves all of Broward County plus nearby Palm Beach and Miami-Dade communities.
If you typed “scrap metal recycling near me” and landed here, good news: our yard at 745 NW 7th Ave in Fort Lauderdale is probably closer than you think. We serve all of Broward County — from Pompano Beach to Hollywood, Coral Springs to Hallandale — plus nearby communities in Palm Beach and Miami-Dade counties. Here’s every area we cover and what to know about scrapping from each one.
Fort Lauderdale (Our Home Base)
33301, 33304, 33305, 33306, 33308, 33311, 33312, 33315, 33316, 33334
This is where we are — 745 NW 7th Ave, right in the heart of Fort Lauderdale’s industrial corridor. If you live or work in Fort Lauderdale, you’re minutes away. Downtown condo renovations, marine industry scrap from the shipyards along the New River, restaurant equipment from Las Olas — it all comes through our gate.
Being local matters for scrap. You don’t want to drive 40 minutes each way to sell $60 worth of copper. From anywhere in Fort Lauderdale, we’re a short trip. We’re open Monday–Saturday 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., so contractors can drop off after the job site wraps up.
Pompano Beach
33060, 33061, 33062, 33064, 33069
Pompano Beach is one of our busiest feeder cities — it’s a straight shot south on I-95 or Dixie Highway, usually under 20 minutes. The city’s ongoing redevelopment means steady demo scrap: old commercial buildings coming down, new ones going up. Electricians and plumbers working the Pompano pipeline bring us copper and brass regularly.
Hollywood
33020, 33021, 33023, 33024, 33025
Hollywood sits right between Fort Lauderdale and Miami, and plenty of Hollywood scrappers drive north to us rather than dealing with Miami traffic. The beach-side condo market generates constant renovation scrap — old AC units, aluminum railings, copper plumbing from unit remodels.
From Hollywood, take I-95 north to the Fort Lauderdale exits and you’re practically here.
Davie
33024, 33314, 33324, 33325, 33328
Davie is horse country meets suburbia — ranches, warehouses, and sprawling residential. That mix produces interesting scrap: fencing, barn metal, old farm equipment, plus the usual residential renovation material. The commercial corridors along Griffin Road and Davie Road keep our commercial pickup trucks busy.
Plantation, Sunrise & Lauderhill
33313, 33317, 33319, 33322, 33323, 33351
These central Broward cities are our backyard. Plantation’s office parks generate e-waste when businesses refresh their IT. Sunrise’s commercial zones produce steady contractor scrap. From anywhere in this cluster, you’re 10–15 minutes from our gate — close enough to make even a modest load worth the trip.
Coral Springs & Parkland
33065, 33067, 33071, 33076
Northwest Broward’s family neighborhoods don’t scream “scrap metal,” but they should — garage cleanouts, old appliances, and AC replacements add up. When your 15-year-old AC finally dies in a Coral Springs summer (and it will — nothing survives a South Florida summer forever), don’t pay for a haul-away. Bring the whole unit to us.
Deerfield Beach & Boca Raton
33441, 33442, 33443, 33431, 33432, 33433, 33434, 33486, 33487
Heading into northern Broward and southern Palm Beach County. Boca Raton’s high-end renovations produce premium scrap — copper plumbing from luxury remodels, aluminum from lanai enclosures. Deerfield’s industrial areas along I-95 generate commercial loads. It’s a bit further, but for a full truckload, the drive pays for itself.
Delray Beach & Boynton Beach
33444, 33445, 33446, 33483, 33435, 33436, 33437
These Palm Beach County cities have their own character — Delray’s Atlantic Avenue restaurant turnover means commercial kitchen equipment, Boynton’s residential growth means construction scrap. We have dedicated pages for both: Delray Beach and Boynton Beach.
Lantana & Lake Worth Beach
33462, 33463, 33461, 33460
Smaller cities, but scrappers here know the drill — sort it, load it, bring it south. Our dedicated pages cover Lantana and Lake Worth Beach.
West Palm Beach
33401, 33405, 33407, 33409, 33411, 33412
The northern edge of our practical range. For West Palm Beach customers, the trip makes sense for larger loads — a truck bed of copper and brass, a trailer of demo steel. Our West Palm Beach page has the details.
Miami & Miami-Dade
33128, 33130, 33132, 33135 (central Miami)
We’ll be straight with you: if you’re in deep Miami, there are closer yards. But for Miami-Dade customers already heading north, or those with commercial quantities, we’re worth the drive up I-95. Our Miami page covers what to know.
How Far Will We Travel for Pickup?
For individual drop-offs, the practical limit is wherever the fuel cost makes sense for your load — a trunk full of aluminum cans isn’t worth a 45-minute drive, but a truckload of copper absolutely is.
For commercial pickup, we travel further. If your business in Broward, Palm Beach, or Miami-Dade generates scrap regularly, call +1 954-762-9100 and we’ll work out a pickup arrangement. That’s handled through our recycling services team.
Do I Have to Bring Metal to the Yard?
For most customers, yes — drop-off at 745 NW 7th Ave is the standard. It’s fast: pull in, get weighed, unload, get paid. For businesses with ongoing scrap, we offer scheduled pickup. There’s no residential curbside pickup service — but honestly, for the price of the gas you’d save, a quick drive to the yard usually nets you more.
What to Bring on Your First Visit
If you’ve never sold scrap before, here’s your first-visit checklist:
- Your metal, sorted. Separate copper, aluminum, brass, and steel into different containers or piles in your vehicle. It doesn’t have to be perfect — we’ll help you at the scale — but sorted loads move faster and grade better.
- A valid photo ID. Florida law, no exceptions. Driver’s license works.
- Gloves. Scrap is sharp. Work gloves protect your hands while unloading.
- Today’s prices. Call +1 954-762-9100 before you leave so you know what to expect.
The whole process — pull in, weigh, unload, get paid — typically takes 15 to 30 minutes for a standard pickup-truck load. Commercial truckloads take a bit longer.
Tips for Getting the Most From Every Trip
Combine loads. Save up until you have a full load rather than making five small trips. You save fuel and time, and larger quantities sometimes earn better per-pound rates.
Time it around projects. Finishing a bathroom remodel? Don’t make three trips for the copper, then the brass, then the aluminum. Save it all and bring one sorted load.
Watch the market casually. You don’t need to day-trade scrap, but if you hear copper is rallying, that’s a good week to bring in the wire you’ve been saving. Our prices guide explains what moves the market.
Bring a friend for heavy loads. Appliances and steel beams are a two-person job. The yard team can help, but an extra set of hands from your side speeds everything up.
