Full-service metal junk removal
Scrap metal doesn’t need to sit in your yard, garage, or loading dock.
Metal has a way of collecting: an old water heater in the basement, a broken grill behind the garage, leftover pipe from a renovation, bent shelving in a warehouse, or a stack of steel that nobody has time to take to a recycler. Some pieces are sharp, extremely heavy, or difficult to transport safely.
Moon Junk Removal provides scrap metal removal throughout Colorado Springs and surrounding communities. We come to your property, assess the items, handle ordinary lifting and loading, and haul approved materials away. You don’t have to rent a truck, separate every piece yourself, or figure out where to take the pile.
We work with homeowners, landlords, apartment communities, renovation crews, restaurants, retail stores, warehouses, offices, and contractors. Whether it’s one bulky item or an entire cleanout, the goal is simple: clear the metal without turning it into your project.
Usable items may be diverted for reuse, and eligible metals can be routed to an appropriate recycling outlet when feasible. We don’t promise that every item will be recycled; conditions and local facility rules matter.

Metal pickup services
From the garage to the construction site.
We handle many types of nonhazardous metal loads, including mixed-material items that aren’t practical to take to a scrap yard yourself.
Ferrous metals: steel and iron
Steel scrap, iron, rebar, pipes, frames, shelving, gates, fencing, and heavy fabrication cutoffs. Great for construction leftovers and equipment-room cleanouts.
Nonferrous metals
Aluminum, copper, brass, stainless steel, and other eligible nonferrous scrap. Tell us if a load contains valuable separated metal so we can quote responsibly.
Appliances and equipment
Washers, dryers, stoves, dishwashers, water heaters, grills, and select HVAC equipment. Refrigerant-bearing items require special handling.
Warehouse and retail fixtures
Racking, shelving, display stands, carts, lockers, cabinets, restaurant equipment, and decommissioned store fixtures. Disassembly can be discussed separately.
Renovation and demolition metal
Metal siding, roofing sheets, ductwork, gutters, railing, doors, conduit, studs, and fixtures following a remodel or tear-out.
Automotive and outdoor scrap
Metal wheels, clean auto parts, trailers’ loose metal components, exercise equipment, bikes, lawn tools, and bulky yard metal. Fluids and batteries must be addressed first.
Commercial and contractor metal hauling
Reliable scrap metal pickup for busy businesses.
When scrap piles up, it can block access, consume expensive floor space, and pull your team away from higher-value work. Moon Junk Removal helps businesses clear approved metal without relying on employees to make dump or recycling trips.

Straightforward scrap metal removal pricing
Affordable hauling, with an upfront quote.
Scrap metal pickup doesn’t have one universal rate. A small, accessible pile of light aluminum is different from several tons of steel, an upstairs appliance, or mixed demolition debris. We quote based on the real work involved—not a made-up flat price for every job.
Common factors include load size, weight, metal type, labor, stairs, distance to the truck, disassembly, special processing requirements, and whether the pile includes nonmetal trash.
Some metal may have recyclable value, but that value changes with commodity markets and material condition. Moon Junk Removal is a hauling service, and we do not automatically pay for scrap metal or guarantee free pickup. Ask about your specific load.
What to expect
Know the plan before we load.
- Tell us what metal needs removal.
- Send photos if you can, especially for large or mixed loads.
- We review load/access details and explain pricing.
- You approve the quote before removal work begins.
- We load approved items and haul them away.
Any photo estimate is subject to confirming materials, access, weight, and actual quantity at pickup.

How scrap metal pickup works
Three steps. No truck rental. No metal pile.
Tell us what’s there
Call, book online, or text photos. Include the metal types, approximate pile size, and anything heavy or attached.
Review and approve
We’ll discuss access, special handling, scheduling, and a no-obligation quote before loading begins.
We load and haul
Our crew removes approved items, loads them, and transports them to an appropriate handling or disposal facility.
Prepare for your pickup
A few small steps can make removal easier.
- Keep a clear walking or loading path to the metal whenever possible.
- Separate sharp scraps and notify us about exposed nails, jagged sheet metal, or broken glass.
- Disconnect appliances from electricity, water, gas, or building systems using a qualified person when necessary.
- Drain automotive components and equipment completely and handle fluids through proper disposal channels.
- Tell us about stairs, narrow gates, basement locations, long carry distances, or difficult parking.
- Keep prohibited chemicals, batteries, pressurized cylinders, and hazardous waste out of the pile.
- Confirm that you own the materials or have permission to have them removed.
Don’t move or dismantle dangerously heavy items yourself. Tell us about them in advance so we can evaluate whether specialized equipment or another contractor is required.
Easy estimate tip
Take two photos.
One wide photo showing the entire metal pile and surrounding access, plus one close-up of the largest/heaviest item. Include a rough measurement if the pile is sizable.
Text a Picture of Your ScrapRemoval of attached steel structures, fencing, sheds, or large machinery may require a separate demolition assessment—not all dismantling is included in basic scrap hauling.
Safety and special handling
What we cannot take as ordinary scrap metal.
Some materials need a certified recycler, hazardous-waste facility, licensed contractor, or special preparation. Tell us about these before scheduling.
Not accepted in a standard scrap load
- Propane tanks, compressed gas cylinders, and other pressurized containers
- Fuel, oil, gasoline, antifreeze, paint, solvents, and containers with unknown residues
- Asbestos-containing equipment or contaminated demolition material
- Unidentified industrial chemicals or hazardous waste
- Explosives, ammunition, and other dangerous materials
- Loose lithium batteries, leaking batteries, or mixed battery piles
- Unverified sealed tanks or drums that may contain hazardous substances
- Unlawfully obtained metal, stolen equipment, or items without owner authorization
Ask first: special cases
- Refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, and other refrigerant-containing equipment
- Vehicle parts that could still contain fluids, fuel, or batteries
- Heavy machinery, industrial motors, or pieces requiring cranes or special rigging
- Lead-bearing items or other potentially regulated metal waste
- Oversized water tanks, boilers, and pressure vessels
- Commercial equipment wired or bolted into place
- Safes, unusually dense metal blocks, and large cast-iron pieces
We may be able to accommodate certain items once correctly prepared or using an appropriate specialist. We do not perform unlicensed refrigerant recovery or hazardous-material handling.
For household hazardous waste, consult Colorado Springs household hazardous-waste guidance or the appropriate El Paso County facility before disposal. Check acceptance rules and hours directly with the provider.

Common questions
Scrap metal removal FAQs
How much does scrap metal removal cost in Colorado Springs?
Pricing depends on metal type, total weight and volume, labor, accessibility, and any special handling. Call or send pictures for an estimate. We give you a quote to approve before standard removal work begins.
Do you pick up scrap metal for free?
Don’t assume metal is free to haul just because it is recyclable. Truck time, labor, transportation, and processing still cost money. We quote individual loads; exceptionally valuable or unusually easy-to-handle material can be discussed case by case.
Will you pay me for copper, aluminum, brass, or other valuable scrap?
Moon Junk Removal is a full-service hauling business, not a scrap-metal buyback yard. We do not promise cash payouts or commodity-based purchase prices. If you have a large amount of clean, sorted high-value metal, tell us before the estimate.
Do you remove old water heaters, washing machines, or dryers?
Yes, these are common removal requests when disconnected and safe to handle. Tell us about stairs, draining, water lines, or unusually heavy units.
Do you take refrigerators and air conditioners?
They require special handling because they can contain refrigerants. Contact us with the appliance details before booking; acceptance depends on compliant handling options and local facility rules.
Can you take heavy steel, scrap iron, or rebar?
Often, yes. Share photos, dimensions, and approximate weight if possible. Individual pieces that exceed safe manual handling may require equipment or a specialist, and we’ll assess that before confirming.
Can you remove a pile of mixed metal and regular junk?
Yes, many jobs combine scrap metal with cardboard, furniture, construction debris, or other junk. Describe the whole load for an accurate quote. Hazardous and prohibited materials still have to be handled separately.
Do I have to sort steel, copper, and aluminum first?
For many ordinary hauling jobs, no. Sorting material beforehand can make evaluation and processing easier, especially if your load contains a large amount of clean nonferrous metals. Ask what makes sense for your pickup.
Do you offer commercial scrap metal pickup?
Yes. We serve contractors, property managers, warehouses, stores, and other businesses. Ask about large one-time cleanouts, multi-site work, and repeat pickup availability.
Do you handle dismantling and cutting metal?
Basic hauling and loading are different from structural dismantling or demolition. Small disassembly may be possible depending on the item, but cutting, rigging, or removing attached structures requires advance assessment and a separate quote.
What happens to the metal after pickup?
We prioritize appropriate reuse or recycling outlets when feasible and permitted. The actual destination depends on condition, contamination, facility acceptance, and the composition of the load. Not all items are recyclable.
Can I schedule same-day or next-day scrap pickup?
Ask us about the next available opening. Availability varies by route, crew capacity, load size, and access. We won’t promise a specific pickup window until scheduling is confirmed.
What do you need to give me a quote?
Photos showing the whole load, the address or neighborhood, approximate quantities, the largest item, and details about stairs, gates, parking, or loading-dock access. Call or text to start.
