About Us

The scars of fallen industry line the three rivers of Pittsburgh. In old steel towns, people reminisce in diners and coffee shops about the days when American manufacturing dominated the world. From what started as one person helping local businesses remove unwanted and old equipment through online selling via ebay, an unrealized need of the people, and the environment, surfaced.

The unstoppable force of industry too often ignores the threats imposed on the environment. In 2014 alone, the world generated 41.8 million tons of electronic waste (e-waste), and this has only grown since. E-waste is becoming more and more of an environmental concern each day. NotScrap introduces a new form of business, saving the environment from irreversible harm by uniting concern for the planet’s future with the business owner’s concern for saving costs and decreasing downtime.

Born out of the ashes of the steel industry, and into the age of ecommerce, NotScrap takes the lessons learned from this surviving industry and offers a platform to save costs, decrease downtime and protect the environment. We take used equipment off of your hands through purchasing, consignment, and donations, and from there we go through the process of storing this equipment in our warehouse location, photographing, listing, and selling it online. NotScrap is the answer to the unmet needs of used industrial equipment.

NotScrap offers great prices for quality used equipment and ships globally. Serving a multitude of industries with our wide catalog of products. In a pinch?
