We regularly take in metal from across Middletown, including Downtown and Main Street, the North End, South Farms, Westfield, Maromas and the neighborhoods around Wesleyan University, along with nearby Cromwell, Portland, Durham, Middlefield and East Hampton.
As a fellow Middlesex County community, Middletown sits right on our route.

That metal has real value, and we make sure you get paid for it.
