Wondering what to do with the leftovers after your repairman comes to replace your garage door parts? The good news is that most garage door repair companies will recycle your old parts for free.

However, if your repair was a DIY project or the technician didn’t take your parts, you may be left wondering what to do with them.

You can look up metal recycling in your area to find a facility that accepts it. You may also be able to sell it for some cash as scrap metal does have some value.

Whatever you do, don’t throw it away. Scrap metal can be recycled to create new products much more efficiently than mining new metal from the earth. Metal that has been thrown away will end up polluting landfills and causing heavy metal contamination in the soil.

Take care of your environment by recycling old parts from your garage!
