Our pledge to sound environmental practices is nothing new; Burchams Metals has been committed to resource stewardship since our very beginning. In 1960, when most people were hauling their scrap and garbage off to local landfills, Bill Burcham was encouraging people to bring their scrap metal to him so he could give those materials a second life. Recycling wasnt necessarily popular back then. Today, we specialize in purchasing scrap metals for recycling but we still have a strong emphasis on reselling usable materials and equipment. We take the stance that reselling and reusing materials and equipment as is is even better than traditional recycling methods that expend more time and energy to reprocess materials. Our goal is to give material and equipment a second life. Reprocessing materials as a method of recycling is our last resort. We strive to keep a clean yard and handle materials responsibly. Just come in and see for yourself how our cleanliness compares to other scrap or salvage yards you may have visited. We invite inventors, artisans, do-it-yourselfers and tinkerers to come and see us when youre working on your next project. Our inventory is always changing but you never know we may have just what you need. We have employees who will work with you to find what youre looking for or youre welcome to explore the yard all on your own. If you need something we dont have now be sure to put in an item request; well keep our eyes open and contact you if we get it. We are committed to connecting people to materials they can use. We are proud to have achieved a practical and creative balance between helping the environment and our customers at the same time.

After years of stasis the inventory has been dramatically overhauled and yard and buildings are much less congested to boot. I didn't see any used machinery to speak of, nor the shelves and...

Fair prices based on weight or by piece. The yard is pretty expansive with some covered structures having shelves of items. Overall good scrapyard with friendly staff.

We needed to source emt pipe for a geodesic dome art project. They were very helpful, checked their yard and had exactly what we needed for 1/4 of the cost of new. Prompt excellent service !!
