CycleMET is a family-owned scrap metal yard on Harrison Road in Columbus with more than 35 years in business. Retail sellers drive onto an oversize outdoor scale, and a completely covered drive-thru handles cans and smaller metal items so unloading happens out of the weather. The buying list covers aluminum, steel, copper, and brass, including old refrigerators, washers, dryers, stoves, and air conditioners, used car parts, aluminum siding, brass doorknobs, broken Christmas lights, and computer towers. Businesses that generate scrap regularly arrange a container, roll-off, or pickup service placed at their property.

New World Recycling - Columbus

1079 E 5th Ave Columbus OH 43201 USA

(614)-754-8508

Mon-Fri 7:30 AM – 4:45 PM · Sat 7:30 AM – 4:30 PM · Sun Closed

4.3 (166 reviews)

New World Recycling started as a small family-owned business and grew into a major metal recycling center at 1079 E. 5th Ave in Columbus. It buys aluminum, copper, brass, insulated wire, radiators, electric motors, auto batteries, appliances, and junk cars and old trucks that come with a title. Catalytic converters are not bought, a policy the yard adopted because of theft. Commercial customers are the specialty, with better pricing for HVAC contractors, electricians, and plumbers, and 30-yard and 40-yard roll-off dumpsters go to job sites for metal. The staff helps customers sort material, and sellers who dislike the price are never pressed to sell. The yard refuses refrigerant-containing scrap, CRT monitors, asbestos, compressed gas cylinders, free-flowing liquids, and hazardous waste.

Appliance Recycling in Columbus: FAQ

Will a scrap yard in Columbus, OH take my refrigerator?

Many will, but refrigerators, freezers, and AC units contain refrigerant that must be removed by a certified technician. Some yards require a tag proving it was evacuated, others charge a fee to do it.

Do I get paid for old appliances?

Scrap yards pay for appliances by weight as light iron, which is usually a few dollars per appliance. Transfer stations typically charge a disposal fee instead.

Can my utility pick up an old fridge?

Some electric utilities run free pickup programs for working refrigerators and freezers, sometimes with a rebate. Check your utility before hauling it yourself.
