Why Seasonal Scrap Recycling Promotions Matter
If you’ve been holding onto a pile of metal in your garage, shop, or barn, this is your sign to cash it in. Seasonal scrap recycling promotions at Fair Salvage Company are the perfect opportunity to get top dollar for your scrap metal while taking advantage of exclusive incentives. Whether you’re a contractor wrapping up fall cleanouts or a homeowner clearing out clutter before winter, there is no better time to recycle your scrap.
Fair Salvage operates three full-service scrap yards in Clare, Chase, and Montcalm, MI. We’re known across Mid-Michigan as a family-owned, community-focused team that offers honest service, fast turnaround, and competitive pricing year-round. But during seasonal promotions, we go even further.
What Are Seasonal Scrap Recycling Promotions?
Seasonal promotions are limited-time offers that give you a little something extra for recycling at the right time. These promotions might include:
- Price bumps on certain metals
- Giveaways with your scrap drop-off
- Special offers tied to local events or holidays
Right now, we are offering rising prices on copper with your scrap drop-off. Stay updated on our current offers and promotions by visiting our Pricing Page or following us on social media.
Best Items to Recycle During Seasonal Promotions
Each season brings unique opportunities to identify valuable scrap metal. Here’s a quick guide to help you make the most of seasonal cleanup:
Spring and Summer
- Farm equipment that’s seen better days
- Metal fencing, posts, or gates
- Aluminum cans, siding, and lawn furniture
- Leftover building materials from warm-weather projects
Fall
- Old car bodies and sheet iron after end-of-season cleanouts
- Roofing and HVAC scraps from summer construction
- Stainless steel or copper pipes from plumbing projects
- Gutters and downspouts
Winter
- Snowplow and winter equipment repairs often create leftover scrap
- Burnt-out Christmas lights or broken metal decorations
- End-of-year shop or garage cleanouts

How to Take Advantage of Scrap Promotions
Getting started is simple. At Fair Salvage, we’ve streamlined the process so you can get in and out with cash in hand.
1. Find Your Nearest Location
We have convenient locations in Clare, Chase, and Montcalm. Use our location page to find hours and directions.
2. Check Our Current Pricing
See what metals are bringing in the most value this season on our Scrap Pricing page. Prices can change frequently, especially for copper, brass, and aluminum.
3. Separate Your Scrap
As Jon from our team says, “If you bring a pile of mixed metals, I have to buy them at the lowest grade price. If you separate copper from steel, you’ll get more money.” A quick pass with a magnet can help. If the magnet sticks, it’s steel. If it doesn’t, you’re likely holding something more valuable like copper, brass, or aluminum.
4. Stay Safe
Only bring in propane tanks if the valve has been removed and they have been cut in half. Closed containers like tanks or sealed drums can explode in shredders and are dangerous for everyone involved.
What Customers Are Saying
We recently had a local contractor stop by our Clare yard during our fall price bump for sheet iron. He had just wrapped up a demolition job and brought in a large load of mixed scrap. Our team helped him sort through the material, and thanks to the seasonal promotion, he walked away with 20% more than he expected. “Fair Salvage makes it easy and honest,” he told us. “I’ve never had a bad experience here.”
