Scrap in.
Cash out.
G&R has been in the scrap business since the very beginning — Glenn started recovering metal in 1985, and the operation has been a core part of how we work ever since. The scrap yard at 211 Darby Lane in Tyrone handles ferrous scrap, scrap cars, end-of-life equipment, and demolition scrap. Non-ferrous metals (aluminum, copper, brass, stainless, lead) are received at the main yard at 900 Pennsylvania Ave in Tyrone. Drive in, weigh in, get paid.
Pricing tracks the daily commodity market — call (814) 684-4424 for current rates before you load up. For commercial accounts with consistent volume, we set up roll-off scrap containers and regular payments. The same in-house operation that runs the rest of G&R runs the scrap yard — straight pricing, and a phone that gets answered.
What we buy.
What we pay for.
Ferrous Metals
Steel, iron, structural metal, sheet metal, appliances, machinery — anything magnetic. Bring it to 211 Darby Lane in Tyrone, or call about pickup for large quantities.
Non-Ferrous Metals
Aluminum, copper, brass, stainless steel, lead — non-magnetic and typically more valuable per pound. Bring non-ferrous metals to the main yard at 900 Pennsylvania Ave in Tyrone. We pay current market rates.
Scrap Cars
End-of-life vehicles, junk cars, parts cars. Call us — we can work with vehicles in various conditions and walk you through the paperwork.
Heavy Equipment
Old equipment, machinery, farm implements, industrial gear — if it's metal and it's done, we'll talk.
Demolition Scrap
Working with a contractor or doing your own demolition? We buy the scrap stream — saves you a dump trip and pays you for the trouble.
Roll-Off Service
For commercial accounts with steady scrap volume, we can drop a roll-off, swap it when full, and pay for the contents. Contact us about volume accounts.
