Do I need an appointment to drop off scrap metal at the Bronx Sims location?

No appointment is needed. You can drive in during regular hours (Monday–Friday 7:00 AM–3:30 PM, Saturday 7:00 AM–2:30 PM). Bring a valid photo ID to receive payment.

Will Sims take my old refrigerator or air conditioner?

Does Sims Metal Management in the Bronx accept electronics or e-waste?

The facility is primarily a scrap metal processor. While data-center equipment and insulated cables may be accepted commercially, CRTs (older tube monitors and TVs) and lithium-ion batteries are explicitly prohibited. Call 718-542-2300 to confirm before bringing electronics.
