Chalmette is refinery and sugar country on the lower Mississippi: a large refinery complex, a historic sugar refinery, and the barge, terminal and contractor businesses that cluster along the river below New Orleans.
Two very different valve populations sit within a few miles here. Refinery turnarounds produce control valves, relief valves and alloy gate valves with full documentation. Sugar and food processing produce stainless sanitary valves, steam valves and large low-pressure butterfly valves that are cheap to store and easy to forget.
Mixed lots, partial assemblies, actuated and bare-stem valves and valves needing repair are all considered. We will review a list rather than demand a perfect inventory, and you do not need to sort or clean anything before sending it.
What turns up here
Surplus stock in Chalmette
The common thread in Chalmette is that the material is surplus for administrative reasons rather than technical ones. A unit was re-rated, a line was re-piped, a project closed out, a fleet changed, a store was consolidated. The valve is the part that has to move, not the part that failed.
Collection
Pickup in Chalmette and across St. Bernard Parish
Pickup is planned around production, not around us. If the only window is a night shift, a weekend or a narrow gap between two contractors, we will work to it. What we need is a loading point, a contact on the gate and a realistic description of what has to move.

Selling valves in Chalmette
Do you buy surplus valves in Chalmette?
Yes. We buy valve stock throughout Chalmette and St. Bernard Parish, including crib stock, turnaround removals, obsolete spares and yard cleanouts. A list with photographs is enough to start.
Can you collect from a site in Chalmette?
Yes. We arrange collection from Chalmette sites around your access rules, gate bookings and safety induction. Tell us the parish and any date that matters at the start.
What if we only have a few pallets in Chalmette?
A pallet is a perfectly reasonable lot, particularly if the valves are stainless, alloy or actuated. If the material is small and mixed, we will tell you honestly whether it justifies a trip.
Will you take the whole crib rather than the good items?
Yes. Whole-crib purchases are the normal form in Chalmette. Mixed lots, partial assemblies, valves needing repair and unidentified stock are all included and priced honestly.
