Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an appointment to drop off scrap metal at Sims Metal Hartford?

No appointment is necessary. The facility welcomes walk-in drop-offs Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM and Saturday from 7:00 AM to noon.

What ID do I need to get paid for my scrap metal?

All material suppliers must present a valid government-issued photo ID — such as a driver's license or state ID — to receive cash payment on-site.

Can I bring a refrigerator or air conditioner to Sims Metal Hartford?

Yes, but only after the freon has been professionally removed. Sims Metal Hartford does not remove freon on-site, so the refrigerant must be extracted by a certified technician before you bring the appliance in.
