About This Location

Quad Cities Recycling is a scrap-metal buying yard at 7735 County Road 921 in Virginia, Minnesota, in the Iron Range of St. Louis County. Directory and scrap-industry listings describe it as a metal buyer that pays for aluminum, brass, copper, stainless steel, electric motors, insulated wire, appliances, general scrap metal, and junk vehicles. It is a commercial scrap operation, not a municipal drop-off for household recyclables — paper, plastics, and glass belong at the City of Virginia's free 24/7 drop-off sites or St. Louis County recycling options instead. Because scrap prices track commodity markets and reported business hours differ across directories, it's best to call (218) 741-0111 before visiting to confirm the current hours and what the yard is paying for your metals.
