As an owner of an industrial business, there may come a time or two when you change the layout of your facility or upgrade your machinery. When this happens, you are likely to end up with a lot of scrap pieces. To figure out what you can do with all of that, you will want to spend a little time going over the following options that should be available to you.

Take It To A Scrap Yard

If you have a large truck that can haul things, you will want to load it up with all of the scrap that you have. Sure, this can take a little time and effort, but it can prove to be worth it. This is because there are a lot of companies out there that will accept a lot of industrial scrap for cash. Usually, the scrap metal is weighed. Once they have an accurate weight for the materials that you have brought in, they will calculate how much they can pay you for the load.

Advertise That You Are Giving It Away

If you simply do not want to be bothered with the loading of your truck, then you can see if someone else out there wants to make a little cash with it. All you have to do is let your employees know that it is available for anyone to take, but make sure that they do this after their scheduled work hours. This way, they are not moving the metal on company time. You can also advertise online on your website or on your social media accounts. Make sure to mention how much scrap is there and try to include a picture. Request that they call to make an appointment to get the scrap so this will not end up interfering with the production for the day. You don't want to upset the flow of your workforce.

Now that you have a few ideas regarding what you can do with the old scrap pieces that you have sitting around, you will want to take action. When you get all of the old scrap out of your business, you will find that you will have a lot more room for other things, such as increasing the square footage of some of the departments. Once all of the old scrap is cleared, you might want to make more of an effort to keep the area clean by turning in scrap before it can accumulate.
