First Time at the Scrap Yard? Here's What to Expect

If you’ve never been to a scrap yard before, it might feel a little confusing at first, but at Bahia Honda Scrap Metal, the process is simple, and the team is here to help. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know to have a smooth visit and get paid for your metal.

1. Collect and Sort Your Scrap

Start by gathering old metal items from your home, garage, or business. This can include things like appliances, wires, pipes, car parts, and more. If you can, sort your metal by type, such as copper, aluminum, steel, or brass. Sorting ahead of time isn’t required at Bahia Honda Scrap Metal, but it can help speed things up and might earn you more.

2. Bring Your ID

When you come to Bahia Honda Scrap Metal, be sure to bring a valid photo ID. It is required by law and helps keep everything secure and legal. If it is your first visit, we will help you get set up in our system quickly.

3. Check In at the Yard

Let the Bahia Honda staff know it's your first time, and they will guide you through the process. We are happy to answer any questions and point you in the right direction.

4. Weigh Your Scrap

We’ll weigh your scrap to determine how much material you brought in. This helps us calculate your total and ensures you get paid accurately based on the weight.

5. Unload and Sort (If Needed)

Our team at Bahia Honda Scrap Metal is here to help you unload, especially if you have heavy or bulky items. If you didn’t sort your scrap before arriving, we may separate it by type. This keeps things organized and helps ensure you get the best value.

6. Get Paid

Once everything is sorted and weighed, you will receive a payment ticket with all the details. At Bahia Honda Scrap Metal, we pay based on current market prices, and you will receive your payment as soon as we finish processing. Be sure to keep your ID and ticket handy to complete the transaction.

7. Safety and Tips for a Smooth Visit

• Wear gloves and closed-toe shoes to stay safe while unloading.

• Check current scrap prices before coming so you know what to expect.

• Sort your scrap ahead of time to save time and possibly earn more.
