Frequently Asked Questions

Does City Recycling Hartford pay for scrap metal or charge a drop-off fee?

They pay you — this is a scrap-metal purchase yard. Every load is weighed on a certified scale and you receive a detailed ticket showing commodity, gross/tare/net weight, and price. No drop-off fees are charged.

Can I bring a junk car to City Recycling Hartford?

Yes. The Hartford yard accepts cars, trucks, and trailers for scrap. Free towing is available if you cannot drive the vehicle in yourself.

Is this the same as a public recycling center — can I drop off plastic, glass, or cardboard?

No. City Recycling (Connecticut Scrap) is a scrap-metal and auto-recycling dealer, not a curbside or household recycling drop-off. For paper, plastic, glass, and general recyclables, contact the City of Hartford's public recycling program.
