Recycling centers in East Hartford

A&B Auto Salvage and Scrap Metal is a father-and-son yard, locally owned and operated since 1984, at 54 Wrobel Place in East Hartford. Scrap metal and auto salvage keep separate hours, and scales sit on site for weighing. The yard pays cash for light and heavy iron, copper, brass, aluminum, wire, stainless steel, and lead from individuals, machinists, and businesses. Junk cars are bought and picked up in Hartford, then dismantled, and the good parts are sold from an inventory database that staff search for customers. A broader parts network fills gaps in stock, and dumpster service handles excess materials. The yard serves Hartford County, including Hartford, West Hartford, Manchester, Glastonbury, Wethersfield, Farmington, and South Windsor.

Cash Can Redemption at 120 Tolland Street in East Hartford is a Connecticut bottle and can redemption center built around automated counting machines that process hundreds of containers in minutes. It takes all Connecticut deposit beverage containers, including beer, soda, water, sports and energy drinks, juice, hard seltzer, hard cider, tea, coffee, kombucha, and coconut water, across all store brands. Customers bring plastic bottles and cans in separate bags, with free plastic bags supplied, and a pre-count guide sets how many of each size go in a bag, such as 100 plastic bottles in the 12 to 24 ounce sizes or 200 12-ounce cans. Glass is accepted only when packed in beer boxes, and loose glass is turned away.
