From old exercise equipment to broken refrigerators, unwanted metal items often end up taking valuable space in garages, basements, and storage rooms. The same is true for businesses with outdated filing cabinets, metal desks, or warehouse shelving collecting dust in the corner.

Whether you’re a homeowner doing a major cleanout or a company preparing for renovations, RRS makes it easy to recycle large, heavy, or awkward metal items safely and responsibly — all without the hassle of trying to haul them yourself or figuring out where they can go.
What Can Be Recycled
Many people are surprised to learn how many everyday items qualify for metal or appliance recycling. RRS accepts a wide range of household and commercial metal-based items, including:
- Home Appliances such as refrigerators, washers, dryers, ovens, stoves, and microwaves
- Office Equipment like metal filing cabinets, desks, and shelving units
- Exercise Equipment including treadmills, ellipticals, and weight benches
- Outdoor and Garage Items like grills, metal lawn furniture, shelving, or tools
- Furniture and Fixtures including metal bed frames, headboards, or light fixtures
If it’s made mostly of metal or contains metal components, RRS can typically accept it for recycling. And for items that require special handling, like refrigerators or air conditioners, RRS is certified to safely remove refrigerants and other components before processing.
