At Gulf Coast Scrap Metal, we uphold strict standards for the recycling of scrap metal to ensure the safety of our operations and protect the environment. While we offer comprehensive services for industrial scrap metal and provide convenient container service, scrap metal job site pickup, and drive-through facilities, there are certain metals that we cannot process due to safety and environmental concerns.

Computers, cars, and appliances may contain hazardous components like lead, mercury, and other toxic substances, making them unsuitable for recycling without proper handling to prevent contamination.

Radioactive materials, live ammunition, and pressure regulating valves pose significant risks if mishandled during recycling, necessitating specialized expertise and precautions.

Materials containing mercury, asbestos, and flammable or combustible materials require careful management to avoid environmental pollution and health hazards.

Aluminum, while generally recyclable, becomes unacceptable if contaminated with asbestos, which poses serious health risks.

By adhering to these guidelines, Gulf Coast Scrap Metal maintains its commitment to responsible recycling practices and the well-being of our community. We encourage proper disposal of these unacceptable materials through appropriate channels to ensure a safer and cleaner environment for all.
