Who We Are

Rooted in Sumter.
Built on trust.

Rainaire Recycle Center has been a cornerstone of the Sumter community for decades. What started as a straightforward operation — buying scrap metal from local contractors and individuals — grew into something far more meaningful: a reputation built on fairness, accuracy, and genuine respect for every person who walks through our gates.

We understand that the metal you bring us represents hard work — whether it's from a demolition job, a manufacturing cleanup, or an old appliance you're finally parting with. That's why we weigh every load honestly and pay what we promise, without hidden deductions or last-minute surprises.

What We Do

Comprehensive metal
recycling services

From single appliances to full commercial loads, we handle it all with the same care and commitment to fair pricing.

Ferrous Metals

Steel, iron, and other magnetic metals from construction sites, automotive shops, and industrial operations. We buy by the pound at competitive mill-referenced prices.

Non-Ferrous Metals

Copper, aluminum, stainless steel, brass, and lead — materials that command premium prices. Sort and bring your highest-value metals for the best return.

Automotive Scrap

Old vehicles, engines, transmissions, catalytic converters, and auto parts. We process and price automotive scrap efficiently for body shops and individuals alike.

Residential Pickup

Old appliances, scrap from home renovations, or garage cleanouts — we welcome residential customers and treat every load with the same professionalism.

Commercial Accounts

Scheduled pickups, volume pricing, and dedicated account management for businesses that generate consistent scrap metal. Let's build a partnership.

Our certified scales are inspected and calibrated regularly. You'll see the weight, understand the pricing, and leave satisfied — every single time.
