Recycling centers in Duluth

Car bodies are accepted at Bayside Recycling only after fluids are drained and the gas is removed. The Duluth yard at 220 S 39th Ave W, just off the freeway, also buys cast, sheet, prepared and unprepared iron, plate, structural steel, dirty motor blocks, steel turnings, and torch scrap. Payment is the same day. Hours run Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Non-ferrous purchases cover copper, bare and insulated copper wire, sheet copper, aluminum cans, sheet, clip, turnings, cast, breakage, and rims, plus yellow brass, stainless steel, electric motors, radiators, and catalytic converters. Roll-off boxes are set on job sites for loading. End-dump trucking, a mobile shear, and a mobile crane are part of the same operation. The company belongs to the Minnesota Precision Manufacturing Association and the Association of Women in Metals Industry.

Chesney Auto Salvage is a family-owned auto salvage yard in Duluth, Minnesota founded in 1965. The business operates a 40-acre facility stocked with parts for foreign and domestic vehicles, offers DIY customer part-picking at discounted rates, and provides a standard 90-day warranty on all parts.

Current Duluth business-directory listings place John's Twin Ports Recycling at 2220 W Michigan St and give phone 218-722-1670. Older recycling directories still show 214 1/2 E 1st St and 218-727-3185, so the West Michigan location and number reflect the more recently corroborated business listings; call to confirm accepted materials and hours.

Resource Renew's self-service Materials Recovery Center on Ridgeview Road in Duluth takes appliances, bulky waste such as furniture, drywall, and carpet, construction and demolition debris, electronics, food waste, household junk, household recyclables, mattresses, scrap metal, and tires. Customers unload their own materials. Some items drop free and others carry a fee, with cash, check, Visa, Mastercard, and Discover accepted. The reuse area is open only to customers who bring items to dispose of and closes 30 minutes before the center does. Household hazardous waste goes to the separate Courtland Street site, where residents drop off automotive fluids, batteries, chemicals, fluorescent bulbs, medical sharps, paint, and pesticides free. The center is open Wednesday to Saturday, 8 to 4:30.
