Haul Scrap Metal Off the Jobsite

Dump trailer rentals for contractors, cleanouts, and short-term scrap transport served from East Dubuque IL, Savanna IL, and Monticello IA.

You are tearing out old HVAC units, stripping metal siding, or clearing a property with mixed debris that includes recoverable scrap. Where demolition and renovation projects generate metal waste that does not justify a permanent container, dump trailers offer a flexible rental option that you can load, haul, and return once the work is finished.

T & T Iron and Metals, Inc. provides dump trailers for short-term scrap transport needs from our facilities in East Dubuque IL, Savanna IL, and Monticello IA, ideal for contractors and property cleanouts where timing and mobility matter more than long-term staging. The trailers support metal recycling and jobsite efficiency, and rental terms are based on project size and duration. Once you finish loading, the trailer is returned to one of our local facilities where the scrap is weighed and processed.

If you are managing a project that will generate scrap metal over a few days or weeks, contact us to reserve a dump trailer and review drop-off procedures.

How the Rental and Return Process Works

Once you reserve a dump trailer, it is delivered to your jobsite or made available for pickup depending on your equipment and towing capacity. You load the trailer as scrap is generated, whether that is metal roofing panels, copper wire, steel framing, or aluminum trim, and the hydraulic dump bed allows for easy unloading when you return it to one of our East Dubuque IL, Savanna IL, or Monticello IA facilities.

After you bring the loaded trailer back to the facility, the material is weighed, sorted, and credited based on current scrap metal pricing. You receive a receipt showing the weight and material breakdown, and any non-recyclable debris is identified before processing begins.

Rental periods are flexible and can be extended if your project timeline shifts. Trailers are not intended for household trash, yard waste, or hazardous materials, and loads containing excessive contamination may be subject to additional fees. This service works best when you know roughly how much metal you will generate and when the project will wrap up.

Here is what contractors usually ask

These questions come up when contractors and property managers are planning their first trailer rental for scrap removal.

What is the weight limit for a dump trailer?
Most dump trailers are rated for 10,000 to 14,000 pounds depending on the model. We help you estimate the load based on the type and volume of scrap you expect to haul.
How long can I keep the trailer on site?
Rental terms are typically one to two weeks, but you can extend the period if your project takes longer. We coordinate timing based on your schedule and availability at the facility.
What types of metal are accepted in the trailer?
You can load ferrous metals like steel and iron, as well as non-ferrous materials such as copper, aluminum, and brass. Mixed loads are fine, though separating materials before hauling improves the payout and processing time.
Do I need a special hitch to tow the trailer?
Most dump trailers use a standard ball hitch compatible with pickup trucks and larger work vehicles. We confirm your towing setup before delivery to make sure the connection is safe and rated for the load.
What happens if I bring non-metal debris?
Non-recyclable items like wood, plastic, or insulation are removed at the facility and may result in additional disposal fees. It is best to separate scrap metal from other demolition waste before loading the trailer.
