Recycling centers in Grand Island

Alter Metal Recycling in Grand Island, Nebraska focuses on effective recycling of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The site prioritizes customer service and community involvement to improve local reputation.

Grand Island's household hazardous waste drop-off belongs to a local Keep America Beautiful and Keep Nebraska Beautiful affiliate, funded by donations, state grants, and support from the City of Grand Island and Hall, Hamilton, Howard, and Merrick Counties. The facility takes products labeled poison, flammable, corrosive, irritant, or oxidizer, including paint, antifreeze, motor oil, aerosol cans, pesticides, fluorescent bulbs, and gasoline. Everything arrives in its original container, and mercury items require a call first. A free Swap Shop at the same site takes used products for drop-off or pick-up. The facility refuses large appliances, propane tanks, and commercial, industrial, medical, or agricultural waste, and it charges a per-set fee for flat panel TVs with a two-per-day limit per residence. Hours run Monday through Friday, and the facility is closed Saturdays.

Locally owned since 1953, Kramer's buys, sells, and recycles autos and trucks along with copper, brass, aluminum, and iron at its Highway 281 yard north of Grand Island. The company also runs Kramer's Wrecker Service, offering 24-hour road service, reefer and dry unit towing, and airbag recovery.
