Recycling centers in Wilmington

Diamond State Recycling calls itself Delaware's largest scrap metal processor, buying ferrous and nonferrous metal at its paved yard at Bowers Street and Vandever Avenue in Wilmington, just off I-495. The yard buys iron, steel, stainless steel, copper, brass, lead, aluminum, aluminum cans, and lead acid batteries, and weighs truckloads on a regulated digital scale. All material arrives by vehicle: no walk-ins or shopping carts, and sellers show a driver's license under state law. A 24-hour camera system watches the yard. Trailer service and containers serve industrial accounts, and staff advise construction, dismantling, research, and manufacturing producers on preparing and separating scrap.

National Paper Recycling is a recycling center at 1000 S Heald St, Wilmington, DE. Contact the facility to confirm accepted materials, access rules and current hours before visiting.

Shuster's Auto Salvage has sold used domestic and foreign auto parts to New Castle County for over 40 years from 999 South Market Street (Route 13) in Wilmington. The yard buys junk cars in any shape, pays cash, and tows them in. An on-site repair service handles oil changes and engine repair, and a towing service runs alongside the parts counter. The yard keeps weekday hours and opens Saturday until mid-afternoon.
