Family-run since 1963.
Two yards. Twenty minutes from Pittsburgh.

Tomson Scrap Metal buys non-ferrous metals in Brackenridge and ferrous metals plus end-of-life vehicles in Natrona Heights. We service residential customers, contractors, demolition crews, and industrial accounts across the Allegheny Valley catchment. Posted buy rates move with live commodity markets — the same way the mills price.

Competitive prices

We post buy rates against live LME and Comex spot, less our operational spread. Same rate at the gate as the one quoted on the phone.

Flexible scheduling

If you can't bring the scrap to us, we'll bring a roll-off container or a trailer to you. Residential, commercial, construction — any of the above.
