How to Dispose of Scrap Metal in Kitsap County

Kitsap County homeowners accumulate scrap metal in garages, workshops, and yards — old appliances, rusted tools, leftover construction materials, and broken equipment. Disposing of it properly is easier than most people think, and in some cases it can even generate a small return. Here is a complete guide to scrap metal disposal in Kitsap County, including when to call for scrap metal removal in Silverdale.

Option 1: Sell It to a Scrap Yard

If you have significant quantities of valuable metal — copper wire, aluminium, clean steel — local scrap yards in Kitsap County will pay by weight. Copper currently commands the highest prices, followed by aluminium and stainless steel. Mixed or contaminated metal earns less. You need a vehicle capable of hauling the material and the time to make the trip.

Option 2: Kitsap County Transfer Station

The Silverdale transfer station on Dickey Road accepts scrap metal for recycling. Fees apply based on weight. This is a practical option if you can transport the material yourself and do not have enough volume to interest a scrap yard pickup.

Option 3: Hire a Removal Service

For large quantities, items too heavy to transport safely, or mixed loads that include non-metal items, hiring a scrap metal removal service in Silverdale is the most efficient option. We pick up everything, sort it, and route it to certified Kitsap County metal recyclers. Call (360) 928-5949 for a fast quote.

What Cannot Go in Regular Garbage

Large metal items — appliances, exercise equipment frames, old machinery — cannot go in standard Kitsap County garbage pickup. They must be taken to the transfer station, sold to a scrap yard, or picked up by a removal service. Leaving them at the kerb will result in a missed pickup notice.
