I recommend this place for recycling aluminum cans. For me price is NOT the most important factor. Easy in and out and a driveway free from nails and sharp objects is most important. This place has easy access for alum can drop off and a clean drive. Note: Once your cans are weighed you have to empty the cans into a recycle bin. No problem.

It's pretty much unloading your vehicle yourself they're pretty honest they're prices for what you bring in really knowledgeable and easy to help you tho whatever ya drive in won't look as it will be when you leave it's a very muddy lot with huge mud puddles watch getting out and getting back in. It's pretty easy coming in and getting around and leaving out they take in everything scrap wise from aluminum cans to huge school busses no propane tanks hazardous materials glass wood or brush an they won't take your x's no matter whatever you think of them an no mother in-laws your supposed to take them to the zoo. This place is one of my favorite places I think to take your scrap

What FMCSA vehicle inspection history matches this registered carrier?

FMCSA’s vehicle inspection file retrieved October 31, 2026 contains 14 reviewed records matching USDOT 3497895 and the current registered legal/DBA name for HOLUB RECYCLING INC, dated 2024-01-02 through 2026-09-18. 12 matched reports have a positive VIOL_TOTAL field and 5 have a positive OOS_TOTAL field. Across these distinct reports, the source VIOL_TOTAL values sum to 47 and OOS_TOTAL values sum to 5; these are reported inspection-level counts. This is the observed subset of a three-year file, not a lifetime total. The history concerns the registered carrier’s vehicles/operations, not inspections of this recycling facility. An out-of-service violation at an inspection does not establish a current carrier-wide shutdown or present safety status.
