Scrap metal removal in Johnstown

Liberty Junk Removal handles scrap metal removal in Johnstown and the rest of Northern Colorado. Show them the pile and they haul it off. Text a photo to (970) 634-6969. The end of the trip is what's different here. Scrap metal gets recycled, so your pile stays out of the trash that goes to the landfill. You have metal in the way and nowhere good to put it. They take it from there.

Scrap metal removal can be the whole job or one part of a bigger one. When metal turns up in the middle of house and garage cleanouts, it goes out on the same truck as everything else and is priced with the rest of that load. A single bent hood is a job on its own too. Tires have their own page, so if you have those too, see tire disposal.

Loose metal goes on this job. A water heater or a boat has its own page. A bent hood or a length of black pipe fits here. If your pile is part metal and part ordinary junk, say so in your first text, since the quote covers the whole job. A photo that shows the metal and whatever sits around it gives them what they need to start that quote.

What goes on the truck

• Car engine parts
• A bent hood
• A steel frame
• Black pipes

These are the usual pieces on this kind of job, not the whole list.

The full list of what goes on the truck, and what doesn't.

What kinds of scrap metal can you have hauled away?

Car engine parts, a bent hood and a steel frame with black pipes are the kinds of loose scrap metal that go on the truck. Pieces like those are awkward to lift, so the lifting is the part you hand off.

A hood is wide and flat, and a steel frame is long, so each one takes up the truck differently. A photo of the whole pile is where the quote starts.

What happens after you text a photo of the metal?

Liberty Junk Removal answers your message or call, prices the job from the photo or in person, books it, and keeps you informed until they arrive. Put the heaviest pieces in the photo, and where they sit.

Pickup is usually the next day. Expect the truck inside a one-hour window around your ETA. You don't have to help load the truck or have the metal waiting at the curb. When the work is finished, they let you know. The owner's promise is to be kind and courteous and to get the job you want done finished for you.

They're open daily from 7 AM to 6 PM, and closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas Day and New Year's Day. Payment can be cash, check, a credit or debit card, Venmo, Zelle, Apple Pay or Google Pay, and bigger companies can be invoiced.

Where does the metal go after the truck leaves?

Scrap metal gets recycled. That covers the car engine parts, the bent hood and the steel frame alike, and you don't have to drive a load anywhere or find a place that will take it.

A mixed pile goes out on one truck, but not everything in it ends up in the same place. Thrift stores and Habitat for Humanity get first look at anything usable, like a sturdy chair or a shelf from the same job. Electronics that turn up in a metal pile go out as e-waste, and that includes a TV. Trash that cannot be donated or recycled goes to the Larimer County landfill.

How is the price set for a pile of scrap metal?

The minimum is $125, and what you pay beyond that follows how much room the load takes on the truck. A small pile of metal and a small pile of furniture start from the same minimum. Loading, hauling and disposal are inside the quote, and dump fees are never billed separately.

About a quarter of a load is $125, the minimum. About half a load is $350, and a full load is $650. A quarter load is about a quarter of the trailer, a half load about half of it, and a full load fills it. A bigger job can be quoted in person.

You get a quote for the whole job from a photo. The quote holds unless the job turns out bigger than the photo showed. Text a photo to (970) 634-6969.

What can't go on the truck with the metal?

Gas and diesel stay off the truck, and so does medical or biohazard waste. If a gas can is sitting in the middle of the metal pile, that piece stays behind while the metal goes. Paint can go. A pile that is all metal doesn't raise any of this.

Other hazardous items are a different case. Liberty Junk Removal can take them for an extra fee if you ask first, so mention them in your message instead of leaving them for the day of the job.

Tires, a water heater and a boat aren't on the won't-take list, so mention them in the same message.

Does scrap metal removal reach beyond Johnstown?

Yes. Johnstown is home base, and the truck runs across Northern Colorado. Check the list of towns the truck runs to for yours.
