Recycling in Wyoming: A Local Guide
Wyoming is an industrial suburb immediately southwest of Grand Rapids in Kent County, Michigan. Two recycling-related facilities operate on Chicago Drive SW within blocks of each other, but they serve very different needs: one is a cash-paying scrap-metal yard open to the public, and the other is a large-scale industrial processing facility accessible only to contracted haulers.
Dusty's Scrap Metal / West Michigan Iron & Metal Inc. at 1845 Chicago Dr SW is a family-run scrap buyer serving the Grand Rapids area since 1978. It pays market-rate prices for ferrous metals (steel, iron), non-ferrous metals (copper, aluminum, brass, lead), old appliances, catalytic converters, and junk cars and trucks in any condition. Tow-away pickup for junk vehicles can be arranged by calling (616) 243-0157. The yard is open Monday through Friday, roughly 10:00 AM–5:00 PM, and closed on weekends.
The WM Grand Rapids Material Recovery Facility at 1737 Chicago Dr SW is an industrial-grade MRF operated by Waste Management that sorts commingled recyclables — paper grades, cardboard, plastics #1, #2, and #5, and commercial PE film — collected under municipal and commercial hauling contracts. This facility does not accept public drop-off from residents or businesses; access is restricted to contracted haulers. Residents looking for public drop-off options in Kent County should visit recyclekent.com or contact the City of Wyoming directly.
