What Happens to Machinery After Removal

Big Country Recycling LLC comes to your site in San Angelo with equipment capable of handling heavy loads and transporting oversized items. The team assesses the machinery, determines the best method for removal, and coordinates lifting and loading based on site access and weight. Once the equipment is removed from your property, it is transported to a processing facility where it is inspected, disassembled, and sorted by material type.

After the machinery is recycled, your site is clear and ready for new equipment or repurposing. The metal components are separated and sent to recycling facilities where they are melted down and reused in manufacturing. This keeps valuable material in circulation and reduces the environmental impact of disposal.

This service does not include equipment repair, resale, or removal of non-metal components such as hydraulic fluids, batteries, or electronic controls, which require separate handling. It is focused on recycling the metal structure and components of machinery that is no longer operational or economically repairable. If your equipment includes hazardous materials or fluids, you will need to drain or remove those before recycling can proceed.

What you should know before recycling equipment

Business owners and project managers in San Angelo often have questions about how heavy equipment is handled, what needs to be done before removal, and what happens to the machinery once it leaves their site. The answers below address the most common concerns and help you prepare for recycling.

What types of heavy machinery can be recycled?
You can recycle excavator parts, pumps, compressors, drilling equipment, generators, large metal frames, and other industrial machinery. The equipment must be primarily metal, and any fluids or hazardous materials should be drained or removed before recycling.
How do I prepare equipment for pickup?
You should drain all fluids, remove batteries, and ensure the machinery is accessible for loading. Big Country Recycling LLC handles the lifting and transportation using appropriate equipment for the size and weight of your machinery in San Angelo.
When is equipment recycling most useful?
This service is most useful when machinery breaks down beyond repair, becomes obsolete, or needs to be replaced during facility upgrades. It is also helpful if you are clearing space for new equipment or closing down a job site.
Why should I recycle instead of scrapping on-site?

How soon can someone remove my equipment?
