Recycling in Bastrop: A Local Guide
Bastrop, Louisiana (Morehouse Parish, population roughly 9,700) is home to two scrap metal recycling yards that together serve residents and businesses across northeastern Louisiana. Roadrunner Recycling at 15135 Beekman Cemetery Rd is the larger and better-documented of the two: open Monday–Friday 8 AM–3:30 PM and on the third Saturday of each month 7 AM–noon, it has bought scrap since 2004 and carries an A+ BBB rating. R & M Recycling at 4744 Naff Ave is a smaller independent yard with the phone (318) 281-2155; its hours were not publicly confirmed at the time of research, so call ahead before making the trip.
Both facilities are buy-back scrap yards — they pay customers by weight for qualifying metals — rather than free municipal drop-off centers. Roadrunner Recycling accepts aluminum, copper, brass, radiators, lead, stainless steel, iron, car batteries, and whole vehicles; it also handles industrial and residential demolition scrap. Neither yard accepts household trash, electronics, or hazardous materials. For a broader range of recyclables in the region, the city of Monroe (about 30 miles southwest) has additional options listed in the Louisiana recycling directory.
Morehouse Parish residents with general waste or HHW needs should contact the Morehouse Parish Police Jury for transfer station access and household hazardous waste event schedules. Neighboring communities with recycling options include Monroe and West Monroe, both roughly a 30-minute drive south on US-165. For statewide resources, see the Louisiana state recycling page.
Scrap metal prices in Bastrop fluctuate with commodity markets — both yards offer fair market rates, but prices for copper, aluminum, and steel change weekly. It pays to call (318) 281-2224 (Roadrunner) or (318) 281-2155 (R & M) for the day's going rate before loading up your truck.
