Recycling in Lonoke: A Local Guide
Lonoke, Arkansas has two active scrap metal buying yards serving residents and businesses in Lonoke County. Both facilities purchase ferrous and non-ferrous metals with certified scales and same-day payment — no appointment needed for standard drop-offs.
TRG Lonoke LLC at 305 Yonack Dr is part of the Tenenbaum/Alter Trading network, one of the South's larger scrap processors. The yard is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM, and handles everything from household aluminum to industrial steel. Roll-off containers are available for demolition contractors and commercial accounts.
Patriot Exchange Recycling LLC at 301 Frontage Rd (off I-40) is a family-owned operation that extends its hours to Saturday mornings — open 8:00 AM–12:00 PM on Saturdays in addition to the standard Mon–Fri 8–5 schedule. Beyond structural steel and wire, it accepts auto parts including engines, frames, and transmissions, making it a useful stop when scrapping a vehicle.
Neither yard accepts hazardous materials, paint, chemicals, or tires. For household recyclables such as cardboard, glass, and plastics not associated with scrap metal, Lonoke County residents can use the Lonoke County solid-waste drop-off program or check with the Arkansas recycling directory for additional options nearby.
Nearby Arkansas cities with recycling resources include Cabot, Beebe, Jacksonville, and Little Rock.
