Scrap Yards in Richmond
Bee Green Recycling
3609 Nine Mile Rd
804-912-2498
Mon-Fri 7am-4:30pm; Sat 7am-12pm
Bee Green Recycling buys scrap metal inside an enclosed drive-through building at 3609 Nine Mile Road in Richmond, so unloading and payment happen out of the weather. Family owned since 2015, it calls itself Central Virginia's only enclosed scrap facility. A visit starts on the scale: the car is weighed with the load, staff help sort the metal, and a second weigh-out sets the payout. Most sellers scan the receipt at the on-site ATM and leave with cash. The buy list runs from bare bright copper, brass, aluminum, and stainless steel to cast iron, catalytic converters, car motors, alternators, starters, transmissions, radiators, appliances, transformers, electric motors, and computer towers. Lead, radioactive metals, items holding liquids or chemicals, and complete vehicles are refused. The yard records ID and license plate on every check-in.

Scrap Yards in Richmond: FAQ
Do scrap yards in Richmond, VA 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 Richmond, VA?
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.
