Transforming Scrap into Support

Scrap for Autism offers free pickup and recycling for scrap metal (both ferrous and non-ferrous), electronics, household appliances, and furniture. We come to you, collect your unwanted stuff, and give it a new life through reuse, resale, or recycling so you don’t have to make another trip to the dumpster.

This isn’t just about clearing out clutter. It’s about helping our son Gatlin, who’s autistic, and supporting other families like ours. So far, we’ve picked up thousands of pounds of scrap, and every bit of it helps support autism programs and family resources. What you no longer need can make a real difference.

A Father's Mission for Autism

Scrap for Autism started with my son, Gatlin. He’s autistic, and every day, he inspires me to do more, to be better, and to find new ways to support him. I wanted to do something—something real—that could make a difference for him and for other families walking a similar path. So, I started collecting scrap metal, electronics, and old appliances. Things most people throw away, I turn into something meaningful. It’s just me out there, one scrap run at a time, doing what I can with what I have.

Every item I pick up helps fund autism programs, family resources, and community outreach. It might not seem like much, but it adds up and it matters. This isn’t just about recycling. It’s about love. It’s about showing up. And it’s about building a future where kids like Gatlin get the support they deserve.

Support Through Scrap

We accept all kinds of scrap metal including old appliances, machinery, motors, and anything primarily made of metal. If you're unsure about an item, feel free to ask as there's a good chance we can repurpose it.

You can help make a real difference by donating materials, hosting a collection event, or simply telling others about what we are doing. Together, we are creating supportive environments for individuals with autism and making a lasting impact.

Your support drives our mission forward. Whether you schedule a pickup, organize a collection drive, or help spread the word, every contribution plays a role in building brighter futures for autistic individuals and their families.

Great Service

I’ve had several opportunities to call for their assistance with scrap metal and old appliances, including an old trampoline frame that got beat up in a tornado. Timely and great service with good communication!!
