Burien Scrap Metal Recycling

Homeowner’s Issue

In Burien yards the frequent rain, shady microclimates, and compacted glacial soils mean scrap metal rusts quickly and creates hazards near walkways, drainage swales, and slope edges. Properties around Seahurst Park and older neighborhoods near White Center often have tight access, steep driveways, or sinking soil that makes DIY metal pickup risky for homeowners and tenants.

Landlords and homeowners want safe, tidy exteriors that reduce liability, improve curb appeal, and keep rental turnovers smooth. Managing scrap metal sustainably also helps with local stormwater rules and reduces trips to transfer stations. Our service addresses wet-weather rot and erosion risks by removing sharp or heavy metal debris, preventing soil contamination, and recycling materials instead of landfilling them.

Our Quality Service

We collect, sort, and haul scrap metal to licensed recyclers using methods suited for Burien’s wet slopes and narrow property access. Work is done with care to protect lawns, planted beds, and drainage lines, and we use only sustainable practices—no herbicides or toxic cleaners.

Benefits:

  • Safer yards and reduced tenant liability
  • Better curb appeal and long-lasting cleanup
  • Lower maintenance needs and eco-friendly results

What’s Included

  • Onsite assessment and photo estimate
  • Collection of appliances, scrap frames, fencing, and loose metal
  • Sorting and transport to recycling centers
  • Proper disposal of non-recyclable items

Optional upgrades:

  • Mulch + landscape fabric install
  • Organic weed control and moss management
  • Haul-away vs. green bin / transfer station disposal

Before & After / Expectations

After removal, expect a cleaner property with less standing water and fewer rust stains. For Burien yards, monitor shaded areas for moss and re-rooting ivy; water new plantings lightly in summer and keep drainage clear to prevent pooled water that accelerates metal corrosion.

FAQs
