Basic Metals

Basic Metals is without a doubt the one-stop shop for all of your possible industrial recycling needs. Throughout the years our customers have spoken, and we’ve listened closely! Getting started in the business, we were always sick having to call other outside companies to assist us in handling a portion of a job. This lead to poor response times, inaccurate quotes, and a general loss of direct responsibility over the outcome of a project. Desiring to be a company built around a “service first” attitude, we’ve worked tirelessly each day since to build ourselves to correct this. And I believe we’ve done a pretty good job.
Beginning with our actual scrap metal yards, it is pretty obvious that Basic Metals is the absolute best location to bring all of your scrap metals to redeem for cash. For starters, we begin with our state-certified truck scales – allowing an inbound customer to quickly pull up and weigh their scrap metals easily and accurately. From there, they will find a knowledgable staff ready and willing to accurately identify their materials, and share with them exactly what category of scrap metal each item falls under. We will then explain to you exactly the reasons why it is considered one grade, and what separates it from the others. By instilling our customer base with this knowledge, we believe we will gain repeat customers who will be better informed, and can therefore handle future transactions with ease. From there, we provide state-certified platform scales for all of your various scrap coppers, brass, aluminum, wire, stainless steel, tool steel, batteries, etc. You will find even more experienced and friendly staff to assist you in figuring out the exact ways to separate, and process materials to “prepare” the scrap into a state to yield the highest possible scrap metal values. We find our customers leave this segment of our business feeling assured that they have been treated honestly, and handled fairly. Finally, step up to one of our pay stations where our state-of-the-art point of sale systems can quickly capture your information, and keep it on file for ease of future transactions. A quick (and inkless) fingerprint scan and a signature, and you’re on your way out the door with a pocket full of cash! It’s safe, it’s quick, it’s helping the environment, and most importantly – it’s putting more money into your pockets!

SCRAP YARDS

Our New Haven facility is our biggest yard, outfitted with a 80-foot, full size truck scale capable of weighing inbound loads of all sizes. This facility specializes in handling all types of ferrous materials, including all over-sized steel items. They are also equipped to handle all non-ferrous metals. Our original yard in Mt. Clemens is outfitted with a 30-foot truck scale, suited to handle typical pick-up trucks and smaller commercial vehicles. This yard specializes in non-ferrous scrap metals, and the processing of large quantities of non-ferrous materials.

SCRAP-4-WORK

In addition to providing a full-range of industrial services to each of our customers, we also operate two fully outfittied scrap metal recycling yards here in Metro Detroit. Both our Basic Metals scrap yards provide commercial and personal customers with the best source to earn cash from recyclable scrap metals in all of Metro Detroit. We’ve worked tirelessly over the past decade to generate a network of mill-direct contacts, as well as acquiring all of the necessary equipment to provide our customers with the highest possible return value on ALL of their scrap metals.
In the field of industrial services, it is highly common for us to remove obsolete equipment, or to assist our clients in cleaning out particular industrial facilities. One of the greatest benefits in utilizing our industrial services is the opportunity our scrap metal recycling facilities provides us. Whenever machinery, equipment, or any other types of metal items are removed from your facility we can utilize the scrap metal value for these items to help offset the costs of work completed. What this means for you, then, is that we are capable of arranging a “scrap-4-work” type pricing structure where we will often times allow the scrap value for items removed to not only PAY for your work completed, but can often times even result is income returning back to YOU!
Many other similar companies will actually CHARGE you to complete work and remove items that they will then turn around and sell for scrap metal – KEEPING the money generated. Some companies similar to ours might even offer to reduce fees based on the scrap value of items, but essentially these companies are acting as middlemen. We are the direct source for EVERY aspect of this business, therefore allowing us to provide the absolute highest scrap value on your items as possible! Often times, this unique business model allows us to actually pay YOU to do your work!!
