Recovery process

Schedule a cleanout

Request a pickup through the portal or call us. Our trucks run daily milk-run routes through Fremont, Oakland, and San Jose. No minimum loads — we pick up single bins or full pallets.

Alloy verification

Every piece is XRF scanned at intake to confirm alloy composition. No guessing, no "mixed aluminum" bins. The verified alloy goes on the tag and the listing.

Sort and list

Verified materials are measured, weighed, photographed, and listed on our Verified Drops marketplace. Pieces that meet size and quality thresholds are sold to other shops. The rest goes to certified recyclers.

Drop credits

When your material sells on Drops, you earn credits against future services or receive a payout. You get a recovery report showing weights in, weights recovered, diversion rate, and credits earned.

How drop credits work

When we recover and sell your material on the Verified Drops marketplace, you earn credits proportional to the sale value. Credits can be applied against future destruction or recovery services, or cashed out quarterly. A typical CNC shop running three machines generates $400-800/month in drop credits from offcuts alone.
