“The United States produces too much waste,” laments Environment America in its 2021 report about the state of solid waste in the US. While this issue is closer to home, it is eclipsed, perhaps understandably, by a bigger existential threat: climate change.

But one unsung hero is keeping the country’s solid waste problem from getting out of hand: are scrapyards. And now, a new service is making it easier for homes and businesses to connect to a facility near them.

Scrapyard Near Me was recently introduced as an online directory designed to address the unique needs of facility owners and the public who rely on their services.

Scrapyard Near Me was initially conceived to address the promotional needs of facility owners in Pittsburgh, who rely on traditional SEO to market their services. The positive reception it received from business owners in the city allowed it to expand further to cover other Pennsylvania cities like Butler and small communities like Wexford, Cranberry, and the North Hills.

“Ninety-nine percent of scrapyard owners and management advertise their webpage and services on Google. In doing so, 98.5% of these businesses never receive traffic and business for their efforts,” a spokesperson from the directory provider said.

Their solution is to create an expansive directory that will allow the local scrapyard owners to list their facilities, effectively making them “featured posts.” As directories like Scrapyard Near Me rank highly on most search engine results pages, the discoverability of these listings increases, which then increases traffic to their websites.

“Scrap Yard Near Me is not in competition with the facility’s own webpage. In fact, it enhances and complements their existing marketing message,” the representative clarified. “By doing so, they have a better chance of capturing the market that larger companies are paying Google to serve up for them. You see, it's all about awareness and market share.”

For individual households and businesses, particularly those concerned about the environment, Scrap Yard Near Me offers a way to contribute to the reduction of solid waste by connecting them with facilities that recycle metal, electronics, glass, paper, and other types of materials.

“The role of scrapyards in the community is often overlooked, and we are looking to change that,” Scrap Yard Near Me’s spokesperson said. “Scrap yards not only assist in waste management, they provide employment and ensure a sustainable future by helping conserve resources through recycling.”

Before taking out the trash, stop and consider if there are items that can be reprocessed into something useful. And if you’re unsure, get in touch with the nearest scrapyard in your area by logging on to www dot scrapyard near me dot co.

And if you’re a facility owner, get your business listed by requesting a business profile through the same website.
