Environmentally-Conscious Battery Disposal

Always Buying Scrap is an experienced partner for companies that value safety, transparency, and maximum efficiency.

To date, we have kept tens of millions of pounds of batteries out of dumpsters and landfills by providing convenient pickup and drop-off services across North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. We have expanded our footprint across the Carolinas with our extensive fleet of trucks and trailers thanks to the acquisition of Junkbat LLC in 2022.
