Frequently Asked Questions

Can I walk in and sell scrap metal at Joseph Smith & Sons without an appointment?

Yes. The yard accepts walk-in sellers during business hours (Mon–Fri 7 AM–3:30 PM, Sat 7 AM–11:30 AM). For large commercial loads it is worth calling ahead to Larry at (240) 309-7669 or Alejandro at (301) 651-0434 to get a quote before arriving.

What metals does Joseph Smith & Sons pay the most for?

Non-ferrous metals — copper, aluminum, brass, and stainless steel — typically fetch higher prices than ferrous (iron and steel) scrap. Prices fluctuate with commodity markets daily; call (301) 773-1266 for current rates before your visit.

Does Joseph Smith & Sons accept household items like old appliances or electronics?

The facility buys scrap metal, so they will take steel and aluminum from appliances (the metal portions), but they do not function as a general household recycling drop-off. Electronics, cardboard, glass, and plastics are outside their scope. Contact Prince George's County's Department of the Environment for household recycling drop-off sites.
