| 2. We place the container | Sized to the dock and the material, set where the scrap lands rather than where it suits the truck |
| 3. We swap it | Within 24 hours. Mixed loads accepted, no sorting penalty, certified scale weights every load |
| 4. You get paid | Rebates on material, metal paid by weight, documentation your compliance team can file as-is |
