About This Location

Otto Recycling LLC runs a scrap-metal buy-back yard on Hwy Y in Owensville, one of the company's two Gasconade-area locations (the other is in Iberia). It takes in and pays for ferrous and non-ferrous metal — copper wire and tubing, brass, aluminum cans and wheels, steel and sheet iron, plus car bodies, batteries, starters, alternators and electric motors.
