From clearing your site to taking eligible metal scrap to our salvage yard, McSteel’s team has the knowledge and expertise to help bring your farm into the 21st century! If you’re on the fence about whether to tear down your well-loved outbuildings, here are a few signs it’s time for a demolition.
You’re Maintaining a Hazard
Safety is paramount on any working farm, and if your silo or outbuilding is causing a safety hazard, it may not be worth repairing. If your silo’s staves are compromised or it’s showing other significant signs of wear, it may be at risk of collapsing or falling over.
You can keep your family safe by having the silo dismantled by our team and salvaging the metal at our scrap yard.
It’s Out of Commission
Many old silos are being decommissioned due to wear. If you haven’t used your silo in several months or even years, you’re likely tired of it taking up space. Dismantling it and freeing up that space gives you more options for building new, more efficient outbuildings and maintaining more useful areas on your property.
You’re Looking for an Upgrade
As much as we all love the nostalgic charm of old farm structures like silos, there comes a time when an upgrade is paramount. Whether you want to get a modern, custom silo or construct a grain shed, deconstructing your current silo will free up more space and give you a more urgent reason to start the process of getting a new storage solution.
It’s Good for The Environment and Your Wallet
Deconstructing and recycling metal structures like silos not only benefits your farm, but it’s also a good way to help the environment and supplement your income.
Silos contain a lot of metal, and once deconstructed, a lot of eligible metal scrap. Recycling old, rusted metal structures like silos helps protect your farmland from the harmful effects of metallic chemicals leaking into your soil. Bringing this metal to a salvage yard also helps protect the soil in and around landfills.
Once our demolition is complete, our team will take any eligible metal scrap back to our salvage yard, weigh it in and out, and pay you for the metal you’ve contributed. That’s right—you can make money from scrap metal recycling. It’s a win-win-win situation!
