Frequently Asked Questions

Does Newark Recycling Inc in Newark, DE accept old appliances or HVAC equipment with refrigerant?

Newark Recycling does not accept scrap contaminated with CFCs or Freon. Appliances containing refrigerants must have the Freon professionally removed (depurged) before the metal can be accepted. Contact the yard at (302) 737-7300 to confirm requirements for your specific item.

Will Newark Recycling accept a copper pipe or aluminum that I removed from my home?

Yes. Copper and aluminum are among the non-ferrous metals purchased here. Bring clean, uncontaminated material—free of attached non-metallic components like plastic insulation where possible—and stop by Monday–Friday 8:00 AM–4:00 PM or Saturday 8:30 AM–12:00 PM. Call (302) 737-7300 for current prices.

Can I drop off a whole propane tank or a closed oil drum at Newark Recycling?

No. Newark Recycling explicitly refuses whole propane tanks, fire extinguishers, and closed fuel or oil tanks as a safety requirement. Oil tanks must be cut in half before they will be accepted. This policy protects both customers and yard workers.
