Forrest City, the seat of St. Francis County in eastern Arkansas, is served by two metal recycling operations that together cover the region's scrap needs along the US-70 corridor. Neither facility is a municipal drop-off for bottles and cans — both are scrap metal buyers — so residents seeking curbside or bin recycling should contact St. Francis County solid waste services directly.

The yard purchases car bodies, tin, short and long ferrous iron, copper (#1 and #2), aluminum, brass, and bronze from walk-in sellers and contractors. Prices follow daily commodity markets, so calling ahead for current quotes is worthwhile before hauling a large load.
