The Koscove family, in recycling for a century, runs Colorado Industrial Recycling on East Las Vegas Street in Colorado Springs. The yard buys metal from businesses and from households, processes insulated wire, and recycles vehicles for their scrap value. Vehicle owners show a title or pay for a VIN verification, the vehicle needs an attached VIN plate, and the yard drains and recycles all fluids and files the state reports. It takes passenger vehicles, motorcycles, commercial vehicles, golf carts, trash trucks, fire engines, and trailers. Commercial metal accounts add pallet, concrete, and cardboard recycling, and the yard runs roll-off trash service with one flat fee covering haul and landfill tip, scheduled within 24 hours in most service areas. Industrial cleanup and guided tours are also available. The public yard opens weekdays.
