4.3 (166 reviews)
New World Recycling started as a small family-owned business and grew into a major metal recycling center at 1079 E. 5th Ave in Columbus. It buys aluminum, copper, brass, insulated wire, radiators, electric motors, auto batteries, appliances, and junk cars and old trucks that come with a title. Catalytic converters are not bought, a policy the yard adopted because of theft. Commercial customers are the specialty, with better pricing for HVAC contractors, electricians, and plumbers, and 30-yard and 40-yard roll-off dumpsters go to job sites for metal. The staff helps customers sort material, and sellers who dislike the price are never pressed to sell. The yard refuses refrigerant-containing scrap, CRT monitors, asbestos, compressed gas cylinders, free-flowing liquids, and hazardous waste.

Scrap Yards in Columbus: FAQ
Do scrap yards in Columbus, OH pay cash?
Many states restrict cash payment for scrap metal, especially copper and catalytic converters, and require a photo ID and a waiting period. Expect a check or electronic payment at some yards. Call ahead to confirm how a yard pays.
What do I need to bring to sell scrap metal?
Bring a valid government photo ID. Many states also require a vehicle plate number and, for some items, proof of ownership. Separate metals by type before you go, since mixed loads are paid at the lowest grade.
How are scrap prices set in Columbus, OH?
Yards price scrap by the pound or ton, based on commodity markets such as COMEX copper, minus their processing costs. Prices change daily, so call two or three yards before selling a large load.
