A & M Metals Inc. (Montebello)

1505 Washington Boulevard

A & M Metals has recycled scrap since 1952 as a family-owned and operated business, and its Montebello yard on Washington Boulevard serves Los Angeles County alongside the company's Santa Ana yard in Orange County. The yards buy aluminum (cans, siding, extrusions, and sheet), copper wire, pipe, and fittings, brass fixtures, valves, and castings, steel beams, plates, and pipes, stainless steel, insulated copper wire, radiators, high-temperature alloys such as Inconel and Hastelloy, and California CRV aluminum cans. California law requires a government-issued photo ID from sellers of regulated materials such as copper and catalytic converters. Pressurized tanks, sealed containers, and materials containing hazardous chemicals are restricted under state environmental rules, so sellers call before bringing an uncertain load.

Recycling in Montebello, California

Athens Services collects Montebello's trash, blue-cart recycling, and green-cart organics, and picks up bulky items free when you call 888-336-6100 a day ahead. Carts go out the night before or by 6:00 AM. For old TVs and computers, the city runs a two-day e-waste drop-off in the City Hall parking lot at 1600 W. Beverly Blvd. every other month.

Frequently Asked Questions

What goes in the blue recycling cart in Montebello?

Athens takes #1, #2, and #5 plastics, paper, cardboard, metal cans, foil, and glass bottles and jars with the lids removed. Empty every container of food and liquid first. Cereal boxes, egg cartons, frozen food boxes, and milk, juice, and soup cartons are accepted, but Athens says they are not being recycled right now.

What goes in the green cart in Montebello?

Branches, grass clippings, leaves, weeds, flowers, hedge trimmings, and untreated, unpainted lumber, plus food scraps including meat, bones, seafood, dairy, bread, fruit, and vegetables. Food-soiled paper goes in only if it is 100% plant fiber with no plastic, wax, or bio-plastic coating.

How do I get rid of a couch or mattress in Montebello?

Call Athens Services at 888-336-6100 at least 24 hours before your collection day, or use the Athens bulky item request form. Pickup of sofas, appliances, mattresses, and anything else too big for your cart is free. Set items out by 6:00 AM on collection day and keep them out of public view until 24 hours before.

Recycling tips for Montebello

  • •The city's e-waste weekends refuse fluorescent bulbs and household batteries. Save those for a county hazardous waste event.
  • •Holiday trees go out on your regular pickup day from December 26 through the second week of January. Cut trees over 6 feet in half, remove the stand and all decorations, and keep flocked trees out.
  • •Athens will not haul car parts, construction debris, or loose lumber as a bulky item.
  • •Athens customer service answers 888-336-6100 Monday through Friday 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM and Saturday 7:00 AM to 12:00 PM.
  • •A holiday on Saturday or Sunday does not delay Montebello collection.
