Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a special permit to sell copper or brass at CMC Recycling in Columbia?

Yes. South Carolina state law requires sellers of nonferrous metals (copper, brass, aluminum, stainless steel, lead) to hold a valid scrap metal permit. You also need a state-issued photo ID. The yard cannot pay cash for copper — payments are by check with a roughly two-hour clearing period at a local Bank of America.

Can individual homeowners drop off scrap, or is this only for contractors?

Both. CMC Recycling Columbia has a dedicated drive-thru retail customer area for individuals with smaller loads, as well as commercial and industrial accounts for larger quantities.

Are catalytic converters accepted at this location?

No. CMC Recycling Columbia specifically excludes catalytic converters from its accepted materials list.
