How scrap metal credit-back works
Recycler value
Scrap metal goes to Schnitzer Steel / Radius Recycling here in Bend. When eligible metal value is paid out at the yard, those funds are credited back to you — not pocketed by the hauler. We separate other recyclable materials whenever practical.
Load and access
Haul pricing still depends on volume, weight, access, stairs, distance to the truck, and how mixed the load is.
Special disposal
Freon appliances and other specialty items can carry disposal fees even when the metal itself has recycling value.
Final credit confirmed
Final credit amounts are confirmed after the recycler weighs and grades the material.
Photos create the clearest JunkCart estimate, so we can separate haul pricing from eligible recycler credit.
