Your link just goes to who ever you used to create the site, when I click on it.

Funny. I was on your website earlier but just doing like Sirscrapsalot, now.
People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

My first impression: The page is too big to show without scrolling...not good. It doesn't show your complete message at a glance.
Your male model: (Is it you?) Show once...after that my eyes start to bleed!! Maybe use a different person for each screen.
I like your sideways slide of the screen for each new page. Its kinda cool.

As always, just my .02
I think you have some good with some bad. The feeling of the website is somewhat hip-wired -mag-type-techy but the language used is way too simple. It actually sounds somewhat illiterate. “Been Recycling”... “For Free, also. No Gimmicks”. I would remove the blurps outside the circular links altogether as they don't fit properly within the circles. I'm not sure on the title of the website. In someways it quite clever and catchy in other ways its somewhat juvenile. I would change the wording under request a pick-up. “We also love picking up your metal to recycle. We love anything metal, if its big or small” sounds really silly.
Anyway, I wouldn't bother typing anything unless I thought I could help. Just an opinion.

Remove that black circle w/ "give a scrap.." so that you can move everything up a little. I think its ok to have to scroll down some but agree you need to be able to see all your opening line w/ one glance. The circle doesn't have much purpose and makes it to busy. Maybe you can center the title line and put something else off to the left to break the page up. I also like the colorful circle links but I would remove the writing on the "about us" page unless you can reformat them. Even if the words fit, the font is wrong for the feel. To me, the line about the environment needs rewording. Maybe look around for different pictures to put in the circles on that page. Some of them do not really make it clear what you are clicking for. I like the picture of the man in the contact us circle. If it is you and not a model i like the impression it will make if it is you who shows up to meet them. Not that big of a deal but puts out a mom/pop kind of feel. Also i would not use him on that many pages if he is just a model.
I don't know about the name. I think catchy is good but i would not put, "give" in my name when it comes to scrap. People already want to make you pay for something they were going to let go to the dump so i would not want them to start thinking to much about the fact they are giving something away. If you are youngish you might also be associating yourself w/ a blase' attitude.
I would prevent some of those pictures/boxs (wix.com one on request a pick up page) from being clickable if its not a link to needed information or desirable picture enlargement. Maybe change some of those images to ones you take of your operation instead of ones from the net. I would change the wording of, "just let us know some basic info about you." Could just be me but i tend to be repulsed by anything that seems to invasive concerning my info. I know it explains what info you are requesting but people don't always go past their immediate feeling.
I like the sliding pages and the look you are going for. Good job!

Using a free web builder tool really really really downgrades the website makes it look really crappy for a business. I would not use you for pickups for that reason, makes everything look really backyard joe.
Otherwise I like the sliding pages and the simplicity of it.
