Plumbers &
Repipe Crews

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.

A single whole-home repipe typically yields 40 to 100 pounds of copper. 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.
