Frequently Asked Questions

Does Sims Metal New Haven accept old appliances like refrigerators?

Yes, with one important condition: refrigerated appliances (refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners) must have Freon removed before the yard can accept them. Washers, dryers, water heaters, and non-refrigerated appliances are accepted without that requirement.

Do I need an appointment to drop off scrap metal at the Washington Ave yard?

No appointment is necessary for the general public. Bring your scrap during business hours — Monday through Friday 7 AM to 4 PM or Saturday 7 AM to noon — and a government-issued photo ID for payment.

Does Sims New Haven take e-waste like old computers and TVs?

Yes. The New Haven Sims yard accepts electronic waste alongside its scrap metal services. For specific items or large e-waste lots, call 203-777-7445 to confirm current acceptance.
