Industrial Scrap Metal Recycling
For shops, plants, contractors and demolition. Paid per load.
We place a container at your site, haul it on your schedule, and pay you for the metal on every load — certified weights, grade breakdown, one accountable point of contact. Commercial and industrial accounts only.
What We Buy
Scrap moves with the market every day, so we don’t post a price list. Tell a SteelSmith Buyer what your operation generates and they’ll quote it by grade — by the pound for non-ferrous, by the gross ton (GT, 2,240 lb) for steel — and set the program.
How a Scrap Program Works
Container on site to paid per load — four steps.
Tell us your stream
What material, roughly how much per week or per job, and where it is. A Buyer quotes it by grade and sets the program.
We place the container
Roll-off, lugger box or trailer at your shop, plant or job site — sized to your volume, no rental fee on metal-only loads.
We haul on your schedule
Set a route day or call for a swap. Our trucks, our drivers — no brokers, no waiting on a third party.
Certified weight, paid per load
Every haul crosses our certified scale. You get the ticket, the grade breakdown and payment on every load.
Turn a Disposal Cost Into a Revenue Line
Machine shops, fabricators, HVAC and electrical contractors, demolition crews and manufacturers across Tampa Bay run their metal through SteelSmith. We handle the container, the hauling, the sorting and the paperwork — you get a check and a clean site.
What we can’t accept
Text a photo of the material and a Buyer will call you back with a number and a container plan.
Scrap Program Questions
Do you buy scrap from the public?
No. SteelSmith is an industrial recycler — we work with businesses, contractors, plants and demolition crews on container-based programs. We don't operate a walk-in scale for household or small loads.
Do you post scrap metal prices?
No — scrap moves with the market every day. Call 813-210-1608 and a SteelSmith Buyer will quote your stream by grade and lock it in for the load or the program.
Is there a minimum volume?
Programs start at a dedicated container. If you generate a roll-off or lugger box of metal per month, or a one-time demolition or plant tear-out, you're a fit.
What paperwork comes with each load?
A certified scale ticket and grade breakdown on every haul, and certificates of recycling for your environmental reporting on request. Every purchase follows Florida Statute 538.
