About Us

TruMetal Recycling is Milwaukee’s newest metal recycling center!

We opened this facility to give residents and contractors a clean, efficient place to bring scrap metal, with a straightforward process from the moment you pull in to the moment you get paid.

Why TruMetal?

Located on Milwaukee’s north side in 53225, easy to reach from surrounding neighborhoods

Clean, organized yard with clear signs so you know where to enter, unload, and check in

Set up for everyday loads like cans, wire, appliances, and job site scrap

Scrap is priced using current market rates so you know your metal is valued fairly

Every load keeps metal out of landfills and puts money back into local pockets

How We Operate

The yard layout keeps vehicles and people moving in defined lanes and unloading areas

Staff are on site during open hours to direct traffic, answer questions, and explain what is accepted

Metal is weighed on a scale for accurate totals before payouts are calculated

Transactions are rounded to the nearest dollar

Rules for accepted materials, fee items, and prohibited items are posted and followed on every load

Every person selling scrap must be at least 18 years old and present a valid government issued photo ID
