Grandma's Recycling

1329 Western Avenue

Open today 08:00 am - 04:00 pm

Grandma's Recycling took its name in 2023 to honor Karen Spickler, who contributed to the Eau Claire business back when it operated as Spicklers Recycling. The family-run yard deals only in metal recycling plus cardboard, and it matches the prices of local competitors. The owners are rebranding and updating the facility, forklifts move material around the yard, and the crew helps customers unload when it is not busy. The yard closes on major holidays, including New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, the Thanksgiving weekend, and Christmas Eve.
