Recycling in Newport: A Local Guide
Newport has four scrap-metal yards serving Jackson County, all located within a few miles of downtown along major state highways. Diaz Scrap Metal at 3294 AR-367 is the area's best-documented operation — in business since 1988, it publishes a detailed materials list covering copper, steel, aluminum, car batteries, and salvage vehicles with clean titles. P & E Scrap Metal on AR-17 combines a buying yard with an on-site auto-salvage lot where customers can pull their own used parts. Both yards are open Tuesday through Friday; neither accepts household recyclables or trash.
On the eastern edge of the city, Mid South Metal Recycling on AR-69 buys ferrous and non-ferrous metals from individuals and commercial accounts. Possum Grape Recycling at 257 Jackson 2 is the only yard with Sunday morning hours (8 AM–noon) and accepts aluminum, copper, and general scrap. All four operate on a buy-by-weight model — bring your material, have it weighed, and receive payment. Call ahead to confirm current prices, since commodity rates change weekly.
For residents needing free household recycling services — cardboard, paper, glass, or electronics — the nearest county solid-waste programs are through the Jackson County Judge's office or the Arkansas Department of Energy and Environment's solid-waste district.
