Sgt. Scrap
Recycling Center in Pennsauken, New Jersey
About This Location
Sgt. Scrap at 9105 Burrough Dover Lane, Pennsauken Township, NJ 08110 is a full-service scrap metal yard with a paved yard and truck scale, serving Camden County and the wider Philadelphia-area market. The yard buys a broad range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals — copper, aluminum, brass, stainless steel, lead, radiators, e-scrap, and wheels — and posts its buy prices daily, paying on the spot. Non-functional cars are handled through the yard's auto-salvage service. A mobile pickup service is available for loads of at least 500 lb of non-ferrous material, and roll-off containers can be arranged for larger industrial jobs. Note: this is a for-profit scrap dealer that pays you for your metal — not a free municipal recycling drop-off.
