Sanibel Island and Captiva Island are among Southwest Florida's most treasured barrier island communities. Known for luxury homes, pristine beaches, and a unique island lifestyle, both islands have faced extraordinary challenges and transformation since Hurricane Ian devastated the area in September 2022. The ongoing rebuilding effort has generated massive volumes of scrap metal that needs to be recycled properly and profitably.

Located approximately 30 minutes east across the Sanibel Causeway, our facility is equipped with certified truck scales, an industrial metal shredder, and a complete fleet of roll-off trucks and material handlers.

Hurricane Ian caused catastrophic damage across Sanibel and Captiva Islands. The ongoing rebuilding effort is one of the largest construction projects in Southwest Florida history, and it is generating enormous volumes of recyclable scrap metal every day. MOME Metals is here to help contractors, demolition crews, and homeowners turn that debris into cash.
Condemned and storm-damaged homes and commercial buildings across Sanibel are being torn down to make way for new construction. Demolition produces structural steel, rebar, copper wiring and plumbing, aluminum roofing, HVAC systems, and appliances, all of which we buy at top prices.
New homes being built to current hurricane codes generate construction scrap including steel cutoffs, copper wire and pipe trimmings, aluminum framing, and HVAC installation waste. Recycling this material puts money back into your project budget.
We deliver roll-off containers directly to Sanibel and Captiva job sites for ongoing cleanup and construction projects. Fill them with metal scrap and we haul them back to our facility for processing. Multiple sizes available to match any project.
Our facility is equipped with an industrial metal shredder and certified truck scales to handle the volume that Sanibel rebuilding demands. No load is too large. We process material quickly so your trucks can get back to the job site.
Getting to MOME Metals from Sanibel Island takes approximately 30 minutes via the Sanibel Causeway. The route is straightforward and truck-friendly.
Sanibel and Captiva are barrier islands connected by a single bridge to the mainland. As small island communities, there are no industrial or recycling facilities on either island. All scrap metal from construction, renovation, demolition, and hurricane cleanup must be transported to the mainland for processing.
MOME Metals is the most accessible full-service scrap facility for island contractors and residents. Our early 7 AM opening time allows you to drop off material before heading to your Sanibel job site, and our roll-off container service means you can accumulate metal on-site and have us haul it when the container is full.

Beyond hurricane rebuilding, Sanibel and Captiva have always been home to high-end residential properties that undergo regular luxury renovations. These projects generate premium-grade scrap metals in quantities that represent real value. Upgraded kitchens with stainless steel appliances, re-plumbed bathrooms with copper pipe, rewired electrical systems with heavy copper conductors, and replaced HVAC systems with copper line sets and aluminum condensers all add up quickly.
Whether it is a complete gut renovation of a beachfront estate on Captiva or a kitchen and bathroom remodel on east-end Sanibel, the scrap metal from luxury island homes tends to be higher grade and higher volume than typical mainland properties. Contractors who recognize this value and recycle through MOME Metals add a meaningful revenue stream to every project.
