Recycling centers in Dover

Speedie Auto Salvage started in 1976 with a couple of cars in a field and now covers roughly 50 acres with about 1,200 vehicles in the yard. This is a late-model salvage facility, not a U-pull yard: staff buy end-of-life vehicles, harvest the OEM parts, and pull each part when an order comes in. Stock spans engines, transmissions, axles, body panels, wheels, seats, glass, and interior parts, backed by a 90-day money-back guarantee and optional extended parts and labor warranties. The scale that brought in cars by weight also led to Speedie Recycling, a scrap metal facility on the neighboring property. Orders ship across North America and delivery covers most of Ohio. Prepayment puts an order on the priority pull list.

Speedie Auto Salvage started in 1976. Speedie Recycling opened in 2007, when a scale and a full-time crew were added at 7021 Eberhart Road NW in Dover, Ohio, so vehicles could be bought by weight. The yard buys copper, brass, aluminum cans, siding, extrusion, insulated copper wire, lead-acid batteries, stainless, steel, and appliances. Vehicle loads include cars, engines, transmissions, radiators, alternators, starters, and catalytic converters. A certified scale weighs the metal, and payment is immediate. Junk vehicles are dropped off or picked up by tow truck. The title must be in hand, and the check goes only to the name on the title or the notarized holder. Towing cost comes off the payout. Roll-off boxes from 15 to 80 yards serve metal accounts. Hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 4:00 pm, and Saturday, 8:00 am to 11:00 am.
