Acceptable Metals

Davis Industries Recycling recycles all types of metallic scrap. Even though we recycle a wide array of scrap metal, we are careful not to recycle anything that may be a hazard to people or the environment. The benefits of recycling are only good if it’s for the benefit of our society and environment. The following is a list of some but not all of the materials that we recycle. If you have any doubt if you’re particular item can be recycled or not, please call one of our friendly buyers.

Vehicles

The vehicles salvage services we offer emphasize a dedication to safe and environmentally conscious recycling for vehicles.Before you bring your vehicle in for recycling, there are a few requirements that need to be completed by the owner of the vehicle first before you bring the vehicle to our location. You must first remove the battery from you car. You must also make a baseball sized hole in your gas tank and have the Freon properly recovered.
