At Johnstown Scrap, we strive to keep our customers informed. There are many different kinds of materials that are considered “Scrap.” Below is a list of the items that we do not buy, for your convenience. This is in no way a complete list, as that list would be miles long.  If you have any questions regarding what we do or do not buy, contact our buyer below.
