Scrap metal collection will start Friday

Juneau-based Channel Construction will resume accepting scrap metal at no charge — including vehicles — starting Friday at the former sawmill property at 6.3-Mile Zimovia Highway.

The company, which brings its barge to communities throughout Southeast to collect scrap metal for hauling to recyclers out of state, will operate its collection site in Wrangell “for the foreseeable future,” the borough announced last week.

The site will be open for people to drop off scrap metal and vehicles drained of oil and gasoline and stripped of their tires from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays.

Alan Frank said he will be at the site those days to help people dropping off their vehicles or other metals. He will sort the items and stack them until Channel Construction’s barge arrives in town to take on the load.

For more information, call Frank at 907-660-7552.

The company ran a similar metals collection operation in Wrangell in February.
