ABOUT NURSE SCRAP METAL
Nurse Scrap Metal has been a long-standing part of the Peterborough community since 1954, providing trusted scrap metal and electronic recycling services for residents, contractors, farms, and businesses across the region. With locations in Peterborough and Douro, we are proud to offer convenient, reliable recycling solutions that help keep our communities clean and our environment protected.
Our team is friendly, helpful, and highly experienced, and we’re equipped to handle jobs of all sizes—from a single load from your home to large industrial and commercial projects. We take great pride in being environmentally responsible and recycling everything we can, focusing on safe, efficient practices that divert valuable materials away from landfills.
At our Peterborough yard, a 60 ft certified weigh scale allows us to process a wide range of residential, commercial, agricultural, transportation, and industrial scrap quickly and accurately. Our Douro location features a 90 ft certified scale and 30 acres of yard space, making it especially well-suited for larger trucks, equipment, and high‑volume commercial and industrial customers.
Nurse Scrap Metal purchases all grades of ferrous and non‑ferrous metals, electronics, and scrap vehicles, and we also offer convenient roll‑off bin services and pick‑up options for bigger cleanups and ongoing projects. As a full‑service, mobile-capable operation, we can bring the right equipment and team to your site and complete projects from start to finish with a focus on safety, efficiency, and fair value.
Behind everything we do are the values that guide our business: integrity, environmental sustainability, safe operations, community involvement, and a strong sense of family. Our vision is to continue leading the way in environmentally friendly scrap metal and electronic recycling and to develop a state‑of‑the‑art recycling facility that supports our community for generations to come.
