Recycling in Pevely: A Local Guide
Pevely, in Jefferson County along the I-55 corridor, is home to two scrap metal recycling yards — both located at 1250 Herky Horine Road. Neither is a free household recycling drop-off; both are buy-back operations that pay sellers by weight at current market prices.
Scrap Mart Metals Pevely is a direct-mill scrap dealer open Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 4:45 PM and Saturday from 7:30 AM to 12:30 PM. The yard purchases ferrous metals (iron, steel, appliances, auto bodies) and non-ferrous metals including copper in all grades, aluminum (cans to truck rims), brass, radiators, electric motors, lead-acid batteries, and chrome rims. Sellers must be at least 18 and present a valid photo ID with current address. Freon must be removed from appliances before delivery; propane tanks and aerosol cans are not accepted.
G & J Recycling operates at the same road address and accepts a broad range of metals: aluminum (including cans), copper, brass, lead and lead-acid batteries, stainless steel, tungsten, all grades of ferrous steel, radiators, and catalytic converters. Hours are Monday through Friday 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM and Saturday 7:30 AM to 12:30 PM. A valid photo ID is required when selling catalytic converters under Missouri law. Payment is made by weight at market rates; call (636) 475-5152 to confirm current prices before loading up.
Neither yard accepts cardboard, glass, plastics, electronics, or general household waste. For non-metal recyclables, Jefferson County residents should contact the county solid waste department for nearby options.
