Frequently Asked Questions

Does Beacon Recycling in Traverse City buy old cars?

Yes. Beacon purchases vehicles for scrap and also buys individual auto parts. Call (231) 946-3499 before bringing a vehicle to confirm current vehicle pricing.

Is Beacon Recycling open on weekends in Traverse City?

No. The Traverse City yard is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:15 PM only. It is closed Saturdays and Sundays.

Can I bring a mix of metals — aluminum cans and copper wire together?

Yes, but you will want to sort them before arriving. Beacon pays different rates for each metal grade and will weigh them separately. Mixing loads together slows processing and can affect your payout.
