Recycling centers in Columbia

The City of Columbia runs a Paint for Reuse Shed at 1313 Lakeview Avenue that gives residents free 5-gallon buckets of latex paint. It opens Fridays from 8 AM to noon beginning the Friday after the first HHW collection and runs through October, and stays closed on or after holidays.

K&M Auto Salvage LLC is a family-owned auto salvage yard in Columbia, MO founded in 2008 that operates on 16 acres of early and late-model cars and trucks. The business sells used auto parts, used cars, and tires, and purchases unwanted vehicles with free towing. They stock catalytic converters, aluminum wheels, radiators, transmissions, and electric motors.

Walter Sorrels opened this Columbia salvage yard in 1954, and his grandson Mitchell Sorrels now runs it as third-generation owner. Sorrels Auto & Truck Parts sells used parts for foreign and domestic cars and trucks, from engines, transmissions, alternators, fuel pumps, and steering columns to hoods, bumpers, doors, and taillights. Rebuilders and new aftermarket parts sit alongside the used stock, and every sale carries a standard 90-day warranty. Customers search inventory by part, VIN, or image, and a Spanish-language parts search is available. The yard serves Mid-Missouri.
