SHRED MATERIAL

 

Shred material must be at least 65% steel.

Cars can have a maximum of five tires per vehicle. We will not accept individual tires even with the wheels – no tires not associated with a vehicle will be taken for free.

Exceptions and limitations:

  • No complete trailer homes accepted (contain excessive weight that is non-metallic)

  • No motor homes 

  • Straight trucks, busses, and grain trucks will only be accepted as shred unless prior arrangement was made with management

UNPREPARED STEEL

 

Clean steel around ¼” thickness. If you bring in uncut steel, it needs to have any tires, hoses, plastics and all material considered shred and/or non-ferrous materials before it crosses the scales.

#2 STEEL

 

Material is 3’ x 18” size or less and ¼” thickness. Minor variations are acceptable (ex: a piece or two that is slightly larger or thinner will be acceptable). No materials that exceed 5’ in length are accepted.
