Recycling in Clinton: A Local Guide
Clinton, in Maryland's Prince George's County, is home to two established scrap metal recyclers operating within a few miles of each other. Clinton Metal Company at 7605 Ogden Drive has been buying scrap metal since 1962, making it one of the oldest yards in the county. The facility focuses on non-ferrous and mixed metals—copper, aluminum, brass, stainless steel, radiators, starters, alternators, lead, and titanium—and is open Tuesday through Friday 8:00 AM–5:00 PM and Saturday 8:00 AM–3:00 PM. It is closed Monday and Sunday.
Kirby Metal Recycling at 5832 Kirby Rd covers a broader scope, buying both ferrous and non-ferrous metals alongside a substantial electronics category. Copper grades from #1 Bare Bright to #3 roofing copper, aluminum alloys (6061, 6063), stainless steel grades 304/316/400, brass, bronze, lead, and battery scrap are all purchased. On the electronics side, Kirby accepts laptops, cellphones, hard drives, CPU chips, servers, CRT monitors, PC towers, and peripherals. Hours extend from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM Monday through Saturday, making it one of the longest-access-window scrap yards in the area. Pickup service using compaction trucks, roll-offs, or tractor-trailers is also available for homes and businesses.
Neither facility is a municipal drop-off for household recyclables like paper, glass, or plastics. For those materials, Prince George's County operates convenience centers including the Missouri Avenue Solid Waste Acceptance and Recycling Center in Brandywine. Curbside recycling for county residents is managed by Prince George's County's Department of the Environment. Neighboring communities with additional scrap options include Temple Hills and Fort Washington.
Both Clinton yards serve contractors, auto-repair shops, and individual sellers. If you have high volumes, Kirby Metal's pickup service may be the more convenient choice; for aluminum siding, titanium, or specialty alloys, Clinton Metal's six decades of experience and focus on non-ferrous materials can be an advantage. Contact both to compare today's commodity prices before deciding where to bring your load. Upper Marlboro and Waldorf also have recycling resources for residents in the broader area.
