Common Myths About Scrap Metal Recycling

Myth #1: Only Perfect Metal Is Accepted

Lots of people think you need super clean metal for recycling, but at Bahia Honda Scrap Metal, all kinds of metal are welcome. Old copper wires and pipes, tarnished brass faucets, bent bike frames, you can bring them all in! Our team knows how to sort and process metal, so even items that are beat-up or dirty can be recycled. 

Pro Tip: For best results, try to keep metal free of food or trash, but don’t worry about a little rust or wear.

Myth #2: Small Things Don’t Matter

Think that a bag of soda cans, a box of wires, or even small chunks of metal aren’t worth bringing in? That’s not true! We buy loads of all sizes, and most of our customers often come by with a mix of small and bulky items. All those items add up to give you a bigger payout.

Pro Tip: Separate your metals if you can (aluminum, copper, etc.). If you’re not sure what you have, we can help you sort it out.

Myth #3: Recycling Isn’t Worth The Trouble

Some people think recycling is a big hassle, but Bahia Honda makes it quick and easy. We are ready to help as soon as you roll up to 3185 NW N River Drive in Miami. We will unload, weigh, and pay out on the spot. You can even call ahead to check current pricing or learn what’s accepted.

Pro Tip: Stop by anytime we are open from 7 am on weekdays and on Saturdays till 3 pm.

Myth #4: Every Scrap Yard Pays The Same

Not all yards pay the same rates! Bahia Honda Scrap Metal offers competitive, transparent prices for copper, brass, aluminum, steel, and more. Rates change with the market, so give us a call for up-to-date info before dropping by. No hidden fees, no surprises, what you see is what you get.

Pro Tip: Clean metals often get better prices.

Myth #5: The Choice of Scrap Yard Doesn’t Matter

Choosing the right scrap yard changes everything. Bahia Honda has been trusted in Miami for over 30 years: locals keep coming back because the service is friendly, fast, and honest. 

Myth #6: Recycling Doesn’t Help The Environment

Recycling metal saves natural resources by turning old stuff into new products, instead of sending things to a landfill. When you bring metal to Bahia Honda, you help keep the city of Miami clean and earn some cash. Recycling with us means less need for mining and manufacturing, which cuts down on energy use and pollution, so you’re helping out Miami and the planet at the same time.
