Frequently Asked Questions

What metals does EMR Southern Recycling Port Allen pay cash for?

EMR pays cash (up to $300/day) for ferrous metals, aluminum, brass, bronze, copper, lead, nickel alloys, stainless steel, tin, titanium, and zinc, as well as junk cars, catalytic converters, auto batteries, and appliances.

Why does EMR Port Allen pay by check instead of cash for some copper or aluminum?

Louisiana law requires that payment for regulated non-ferrous metals such as copper and aluminum radiators above $300 be made by check with a 5-day hold, unless the seller provides a valid business license. This is a statewide anti-theft rule, not EMR-specific policy.

Does EMR Southern Recycling Port Allen accept refrigerators or washing machines?

Yes, appliances are accepted. However, the facility cannot take refrigerants (CFCs) — units containing Freon must be properly drained before delivery, or contact EMR at (225) 387-0498 to confirm their current procedure.

Is EMR Port Allen open on weekends?

No. EMR Southern Recycling Port Allen is open Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM only. For weekend scrap selling in the area, Louisiana Scrap Metal Recycling at 2527 S Westport Dr in Port Allen is open Saturday mornings 8 AM–noon.
