About this center
Key Works Metal Recycling is the West Seattle buy-back yard of Key Works, a nonprofit recycler whose loads fund work-skills training for people in recovery. The drive-through yard on 16th Avenue SW weighs aluminum, brass, copper, and other non-ferrous metals and pays on the spot, in cash up to the state's limit on non-ferrous purchases and by check above it. Sellers show a valid Washington driver's license.
Dishwashers, water heaters, microwaves, laptops, cell phones, circuit boards, and steel and iron under 300 pounds come in free with no payout. The yard refuses cars, engines, catalytic converters, refrigerators, tires, and household batteries. Hours run Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
