Scrap Buyers for Machine Shops — Florida

We Buy From
Machine Shops
& Fabricators

Machine shops are where tungsten carbide comes from, and carbide is the most valuable material we buy — pound for pound worth far more than copper. Worn inserts and broken end mills that get swept into the steel bin are money going out with the trash.

Worth Knowing

The Mistake That Costs Machine Shops Money

If your shop does nothing else, put a sealed container by each machine for carbide inserts. Most shops we start working with are shocked at what a year of swept-up inserts was worth.

Common Questions

Machine Shops FAQ

Do you buy scrap metal from machine shops in Florida?
Yes. CRC Buyers works with machine shops throughout Florida. We offer free pickup for qualifying quantities so material does not accumulate on site, and we pay on the spot at collection.
What is worth the most from a machine shop job?
It depends on the trade, but as a rule the non-ferrous metals carry the value — copper, brass, carbide and stainless. If your shop does nothing else, put a sealed container by each machine for carbide inserts. Most shops we start working with are shocked at what a year of swept-up inserts was wort
Do you offer scheduled pickups for businesses?
Yes. Most of the trades we work with prefer a standing arrangement — we collect on a regular cycle so the scrap never piles up. Call and we will work out a cadence that fits your volume.
How much scrap does a business like ours usually produce?
A production shop can accumulate 50 to 200 pounds of carbide annually without noticing. We can tell you what your specific volume is realistically worth once we know what you are generating.
How do we get paid?
We weigh in front of you and pay on the spot, cash or check. For scheduled pickups we weigh at collection and settle the same visit — no invoicing, no waiting period.
