G & J Recycling
Recycling Center in Pevely, Missouri
About This Location
G & J Recycling is a scrap-metal buy-back yard at 1250 Herky Horine Road in Pevely, Jefferson County, Missouri. It purchases a broad range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals — aluminum (including used beverage cans), copper, brass, lead and lead-acid batteries, stainless steel, tungsten, radiators, all grades of steel, and catalytic converters — paying market prices at the scale. This is a paid buy-back operation, not a free public recycling drop-off: you bring material in, it's weighed, and you're paid on the spot. There is no charge to deliver scrap. The yard is open weekdays from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM and Saturday mornings from 7:30 AM to 12:30 PM, and is closed Sundays. Because scrap prices move daily, it's worth calling (636) 475-5152 before you load up to confirm current rates and any material-specific requirements.
