Who qualifies for an Ironcrest commercial carbide account?

Qualification depends on material type, recurring or one-time volume, accumulation frequency, location and pickup logistics. CNC shops, manufacturers, tool rooms and industrial facilities are encouraged to request a review.

Are collection containers available?

Ironcrest can discuss appropriate collection containers as part of qualifying recurring accounts. Container style and pickup timing are matched to the material stream and route.

Can Ironcrest review new tooling as well as scrap?

Yes. New, boxed, labeled and identifiable carbide tooling should be kept separate so Ironcrest can evaluate potential resale value before it is treated as scrap.

Send photos, estimated weight or monthly volume, material types, facility location and current handling method. Ironcrest will review the account fit and discuss next steps.
