Recycling centers in Dearborn

Autocatalyst Recycling Corporation in Dearborn, MI, buys and processes catalytic converters and other automotive components. The facility only purchases from registered businesses to ensure ethical and lawful transactions.

The Dearborn DPW Yard at 2951 Greenfield opens only on the third Saturday of each month, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., for free drop-off by Dearborn residents. It takes household refuse, old appliances, couches, mattresses, and outdated furniture, which lets residents skip the paid special pickup the city otherwise schedules for large items. The same lot hosts the city's spring and fall Shred Days for paper, from 8 a.m. to noon. Hazardous and construction materials, fuel, and ammunition are refused here and at the curb, and tires are taken only on designated tire collection days.

Southend Metals runs its Dearborn yard at 3740 Wyoming Avenue and buys all ferrous and nonferrous metal from commercial, industrial, and public customers. The buy list names copper, brass, aluminum, steel, wire, stainless, electric motors, rotors and drums, radiators, rims, appliances, cast iron, and HMS. Commercial accounts get roll-off service and scheduled pickups, with a separate sales contact for business customers. The yard opens Monday through Friday and Saturday morning, and the company reports more than ten years in the trade.
