About This Location

Clark's Westside Scrap at 13 Benjamin Drive in Hallowell is the Kennebec County yard of the family-owned Clark's Scrap Metal operation. The yard buys all grades of scrap metal — from bare bright copper wire and brass to cast iron, aluminum, and complete or incomplete vehicles — and pays by the pound, so you leave with a check. Beyond walk-in drop-offs, Clark's offers junk-vehicle pickup within a 25-mile radius of Hallowell and delivers or retrieves 20-, 30-, and 40-yard roll-off containers within a 300-mile radius. The Hallowell location is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with a short midday closure from 12:00 to 12:30 PM. Note that this is a scrap-metal purchase yard, not a general household recycling drop-off — paper, plastic, glass, and electronics are not taken here.
