Cash N Carry Pull Your Part

500 Staley Ave

Cash N Carry Pull Your Part has worked the Savannah auto salvage trade for two generations, with more than twenty years of experience at its Staley Avenue yard. The business buys vehicles in any condition: sellers enter the car's details online, get a confirming phone call, and the yard picks the car up and pays. On the parts side, customers search a regularly updated online inventory and a new arrivals list before driving over, then pull their own parts at pull-your-own pricing. Stock covers engines, transmissions, headlights, wheels and other OEM salvage parts for all makes and models. DIY mechanics and repair shops both shop the yard. Sunday is the one day it stays closed.

Recycling in Savannah, Georgia

Savannah sits at the mouth of the Savannah River in Chatham County, where city sanitation and county drop-off centers serve different jobs. For sorted household recycling, residents commonly use Chatham County's staffed drop-off network, including Wilmington Island and Chevis Road inside Savannah city limits. Glass has been off the county drop-off list for years, so knowing what each site still takes prevents a wasted trip.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I drop off recycling in Savannah?

Chatham County operates staffed drop-off centers that Savannah residents use for sorted recyclables. Two Savannah-area sites are the Wilmington Island Drop-Off Center at 7022 Concord Road and the Chevis Road Drop-Off Center. A third county site is at Sharon Park in Garden City. Call Public Works at 912-652-6840 with site questions.

What are the Wilmington Island drop-off hours?

Wilmington Island is open Monday through Saturday from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM, and Sunday from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM. That Sunday window is the only county drop-off day listed for Wilmington Island among the three centers.

Does Chatham County recycle glass in Savannah?

No. County drop-off centers stopped accepting food and beverage glass for recycling, and current guidance still lists glass among materials that cannot be accepted. Bring cardboard, paper, plastics 1 and 2, cans, and scrap metal instead.

What plastics does Savannah-area drop-off recycling take?

Hard plastics numbered 1 and 2, such as water bottles, milk jugs, and detergent bottles. Soft plastics such as shopping bags, bubble wrap, plastic film, and Ziploc bags are also listed at the county recycling drop-off guidance. Styrofoam is not accepted.

Can I recycle electronics at a Chatham County drop-off?

Yes, under the county recycling drop-off materials list. Accepted electronics include phones, tablets, computers and monitors, flat-screen TVs, printers, rechargeable lithium-ion or lead-acid batteries, toner cartridges, cords, and automotive batteries. Alkaline batteries are not accepted, and no hazardous chemicals are accepted.

Do I have to sort recycling before arriving in Savannah?

Yes. County guidance requires materials to be sorted into labeled categories before or at drop-off. Attendants can require on-site sorting, and residential loads are subject to inspection. The county can reject unsorted or prohibited material.

Recycling tips for Savannah

•Leave glass at home for Chatham County drop-offs, because food and beverage glass is not accepted.
•Use Wilmington Island if you need a Sunday drop-off, since Chevis Road and Sharon Park are Tuesday through Saturday only.
•Sort cardboard, paper, plastics, cans, and scrap metal into separate loads before you arrive.
•Keep cooking oil and motor oil to 4 gallons or less, and do not mix gasoline into motor oil.
•Call 912-652-6840 for drop-off questions, or 311 for hazardous materials that the centers will not take.
