Overview
What it's best for.
Scrap metal, ferrous (iron, steel) and non-ferrous (copper, aluminum, brass), has commodity value that can offset disposal costs or generate rebates depending on market pricing and volume. Dedicated scrap containers keep the material clean (uncontaminated by general debris), which preserves its value at the recycling facility.
Specifications
The specs.
- Container sizes
- typically 10- to 40-yard depending on volume
- Material requirement
- scrap should be reasonably clean and source-separated
- Rebate potential
- depends on metal type, volume, current commodity pricing, and regional market
Dimensions and capacities are typical industry averages. Actual specs vary by regional hauler partner, your ACR account team confirms exact specs before delivery.
Get the right fit
When to size up or down.
Scrap metal containers are sized to volume rather than weight, even a full 40-yard of mixed scrap typically falls within hauling weight limits. The right size depends on your project's metal content; your ACR account team can help estimate based on the project type.
