Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an appointment to drop off scrap metal at PADNOS Black River?

No appointment is needed. Simply drive onto the main scale during business hours (Mon–Fri 7:30 AM–5:30 PM, Sat 7:30 AM–3:00 PM), and staff will weigh and process your material. Bring a valid government-issued photo ID.

Does PADNOS Black River take old refrigerators and appliances with refrigerant?

Yes. Refrigerators, freezers, and air conditioners are accepted, and PADNOS removes refrigerants at no charge before recycling the metal.

Will I be paid the same day for copper and electronics?

In most cases yes, by check or on-site ATM cash. However, Michigan's Scrap Act requires that payment for copper exceeding $25 in value and for catalytic converters may be held until the next business day.
