Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an ID to drop off scrap metal at South Valley Recyclers?

Yes. Arizona law requires scrap yards to record a government-issued photo ID for metal purchases to help prevent theft of stolen metals. Bring a valid driver's license or state ID.

Does South Valley Recyclers accept refrigerators or air conditioners?

Large appliances (washers, dryers, stoves, dishwashers) are accepted. Refrigerators and air conditioners contain refrigerant (freon) — whether they accept these with freon still inside is not confirmed. Call (602) 421-4494 before bringing refrigerant-containing appliances.

Why is the yard closed Monday and Tuesday?

South Valley Recyclers operates a limited schedule, open Wednesday through Friday 8:00 AM–3:00 PM and Saturday 8:00 AM–2:00 PM, and closed Sunday through Tuesday. Call (602) 421-4494 to verify hours have not changed before making the trip.
