Recycling in Kingman: A Local Guide
Kingman's two primary recycling facilities sit just a block apart on East Andy Devine Avenue and both operate as commercial scrap metal buy-back yards — meaning they pay you by weight for metals and vehicles rather than functioning as free public drop-offs for household waste. Bulldog Disposal & Recycling at 3880 E Andy Devine Ave is a family-owned operation founded in 1988, now one of three northwest Arizona yards in the Bulldog network. It purchases aluminum, copper, brass, lead, and steel, accepts junk cars, and takes CRV plastic bottles. The scale closes at 4:45 PM even though the yard closes at 5:00 PM, so plan to arrive early.
KAR Recycling Center at 3800 E Andy Devine Ave specializes in automotive recycling and end-of-life vehicles while also buying non-ferrous metals including aluminum, copper, and brass. KAR also accepts household appliances — but only if they have been completely drained of fluids and Freon before arrival. Both yards are closed Sunday; Bulldog is closed Saturday as well, while KAR is open Tuesday through Saturday.
Neither facility accepts household hazardous waste, electronics, cardboard, or general household recyclables. For those materials, Mohave County residents should check county solid-waste programs or Arizona Department of Environmental Quality events. Scrap metal commodity prices fluctuate daily — call Bulldog at (928) 753-6786 or KAR at (928) 757-9888 for current rates before your trip.
