Cmc Recycling
Recycling Center in Alexander City, Alabama
About This Location
CMC Recycling in Alexander City, Alabama is a commercial scrap metal buyer, not a household drop-off center. The yard at 667 Emerson Road pays cash for both ferrous metals (prepared and unprepared #1 and #2 steel, cast iron, shred and tin) and nonferrous metals including copper, brass, aluminum, stainless steel and lead, and can pay up to $3,000 for most loads. You must bring a federal or state-issued photo ID to receive payment. It does not take household trash, hazardous waste, batteries or electronics, so this is the place for metal, not curbside recyclables. The yard is open Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 2:30 PM and is closed on weekends.
