About Scrap Metal Exchange
A Tempe scrap yard that weighs your metal and keeps the paperwork in order.
Who We Are
A Scrap Yard in Tempe
Scrap Metal Exchange buys copper, aluminum, brass, steel, motors, batteries, and AC units from homeowners, contractors, and businesses across the East Valley. Whether it's one load off a truck or a standing commercial account, we run the same weigh-in and the same recordkeeping for everyone who comes through the gate.
How It Works
From Your Truck to Getting Paid
Pull in and check in
Bring a photo ID. Every visit requires one under state law.
We weigh and sort
Materials are separated and weighed on our scale.
You get a receipt and a price
A receipt is issued for each transaction, as Arizona law requires.
You get paid
Cash on site for most transactions under $300, limited to one cash transaction per person per day. Transactions of $300 or more, industrial accounts, copper or aluminum wire 3/8" or thicker, and air conditioner cooling coils are paid by check or money order mailed to the address on your ID.
