Recycling in House Springs: A Local Guide
House Springs is an unincorporated community in Jefferson County, Missouri, roughly 25 miles southwest of St. Louis. The area has two active metal recycling and scrap-buying facilities — both on or near Old Missouri 21 — where residents and contractors can sell ferrous and non-ferrous metal, junk cars, and related materials for cash.
Midwest Scrap Iron LLC operates at 5502 Dulin Creek Road and buys the full range of scrap: steel and iron, copper, aluminum, brass, stainless steel, catalytic converters, automotive batteries, radiators, engines, transmissions, insulated wire, appliances, and lawnmowers. It also purchases junk and scrap cars outright and advertises a pickup service. There is no drop-off fee — the yard pays sellers by weight at current market rates. Hours are Monday through Friday 8 AM–5 PM and Saturday 9 AM–5 PM, closed Sunday.
21 Recycling is located at 5212 Old Missouri 21 and has served Jefferson County since 1998. It buys shreddable steel, scrap iron, aluminum (including cans and wheels), copper, brass, insulated wire, small electric motors, stainless steel, catalytic converters, and junk cars and trucks in any condition. Cash is paid on the spot; towing and same-day vehicle pickup are available by arrangement. Hours are Monday through Saturday 9 AM–5 PM, closed Sunday. The facility's official website also notes after-hours pickup can be arranged by calling (636) 942-2448.
Both yards are commercial scrap buyers, not municipal recycling programs. Neither accepts household recyclables such as paper, plastic, or glass. Scrap prices fluctuate daily — call ahead for current rates before loading a heavy load.
