About This Location

AIM Recycling Phoenix is a public and industrial metal recycling yard at 2144 W McDowell Rd, buying ferrous and non-ferrous scrap from both walk-in sellers and businesses. The yard takes steel and iron, copper, brass, aluminum, wire, and other household metals, along with batteries and some electronic/computer waste. As a scrap buyer, AIM pays for qualifying metal by weight and grade rather than charging a drop-off fee, so it suits people selling metal rather than disposing of general household recycling.
