New World Recycling - Columbus

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.

Battery Recycling in Columbus: FAQ

Will a scrap yard in Columbus, OH pay for car batteries?

Most scrap yards buy lead-acid car batteries by the pound or per battery. Auto parts stores usually take them free and may refund a core charge.

How should I store batteries before recycling?

Tape the terminals of lithium and 9-volt batteries or bag each one separately. Loose lithium batteries can short and start fires in bins and trucks.

Can I throw household batteries in the trash?

Alkaline batteries are legal to trash in most states, but rechargeable and lithium batteries are not. Recycling all of them is the safe choice.
