Free Scrap Metal Pickup in Portland & Vancouver, WA
Remove Scrap picks up scrap metal for free across the Portland OR and Vancouver WA metro when your load qualifies — at least 400 lbs of metal (roughly two full-size appliances, a water heater, or a comparable pile) and 60%+ metal by volume. We recycle at licensed yards and scrap value covers the haul, so you pay $0. Smaller metal-only loads are still welcome at our $150 trip minimum (fuel and crew).

- Metal shelving, racks, and wire shelving units
- Copper pipe, wire, and mixed metal plumbing

- At least 400 lbs — roughly two full-size appliances, a water heater, or a comparable pile
What has a fee
