About this center

Asheville Metal Recycling runs a completely indoor scrap yard at 144 Caribou Road near the historic Biltmore Village. Jerry Mathews started the family company with a pickup truck, and the third generation now runs it. The yard buys copper, brass, aluminum, vehicles, and other metals and alloys, posts a current price list online, and shares that pricing with its Burnsville Metal Recycling yard. Open-top containers for metal or trash come through a sister company, 828 Waste, in 12, 20, 30, and 40 yard sizes, with phone support listed around the clock for container customers.
