Frequently Asked Questions

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

No. Sims Metal Sparks is a walk-in facility — no appointment is needed. Staff will help you unload heavy or bulky items. Bring a valid government-issued photo ID if you want to receive payment.

Can I bring my old refrigerator or AC unit to Sims Metal?

Only if the refrigerant has already been professionally removed. Sims Metal Sparks cannot accept appliances that still contain refrigerants — have a licensed technician recover the refrigerant first, then bring the appliance in.

Does Sims Metal Sparks accept junk vehicles?

Yes, end-of-life vehicles are accepted, but you must bring a valid Nevada non-repairable title for the vehicle. Call (775) 331-3023 to confirm current requirements before towing your vehicle to the yard.
