About this center

American Recycling buys ferrous and nonferrous scrap metal in Spokane Valley and has done so for more than 50 years. Ferrous material includes steel, steel turnings, cast iron, auto bodies, motor blocks, mixed tin, and appliances, while the nonferrous side covers copper, aluminum, brass, and stainless steel. Businesses get bins, dumpsters, and roll-off boxes in several sizes, with pickup and exchange service. The yard turns away plastic, glass, clothing, pressurized containers, refrigerant-bearing units, mercury, PCBs, asbestos, and free-flowing oils. Hours run 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM weekdays and 8:00 AM to 11:30 AM Saturday.

I have been in there before and my name was in their system. He looked me up and said I'd have to update my license. I'm from waha idaho and working on rental units in spokane. I left my ID in the hotel. They told me after everything was weighed and dropped in bins they wouldn't be able to pay me for semi precious metals without updated id.

Been to a couple of other recyclers but on this day American was on my way home. Would definitely make the trip there even if out of my way. Great and helpful staff. Very satisfied with the experience. Would highly recommend.

The first time I went there I felt lost. The workers are awesome and so helpful. It's the only recycling place I go to.
