Recycling in Troy: A Local Guide
Troy, Alabama sits in Pike County and is home to a small but varied cluster of recycling operations. The city's most prominent facility is Sanders Lead Co Inc at 1 Sanders Rd — one of the largest secondary lead smelters in the United States, recycling roughly 13 million lead-acid batteries a year. That operation is industrial-only and not open for public drop-offs. For residents with a single car battery to recycle, auto parts retailers in town or the City of Troy's curbside recycling program (call 311) are the right starting point.
Residents and small contractors looking to sell scrap metal have a solid option at Jack Metals Inc on Co Rd 201, a public yard open six days a week (closed first Saturday of each month). Jack Metals buys aluminum, copper, brass, ferrous steel, catalytic converters, and junk cars. No appointment is needed; just drive up. The other two facilities in Troy — K&W Recycle on Pike County Lake Rd and Cross Metals on N Three Notch St — round out the local options, with Cross Metals also active on Facebook for current pricing.
The City of Troy runs a free curbside recycling program: residents and businesses can request a green roll-out cart or recycling trailer by calling 311 or using the Troy 311 App. Troy Recycles Day and other community programs run periodically throughout the year.
