Recycling in Canton: A Local Guide
Canton, the Madison County seat in central Mississippi, has two recycling businesses operating in town — a scrap-metal yard near the Canton Square and a multi-material recycling firm on Industrial Drive — together covering metal, fiber, and plastic streams for residents and commercial customers.
The Can Man of Canton at 309 Yandell Ave is a scrap-metal recycler open Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. It buys ferrous metal (automobiles, farm equipment, structural steel, white goods), non-ferrous metal (aluminum cans, solid aluminum, aluminum wire and rims, copper, brass, stainless steel), and cardboard and paper. Unregulated metals are paid in cash on the spot; copper and aluminum/copper coils are regulated under Mississippi law and paid by check after the state review period. No appointment is needed for walk-in drop-off.

It is open Monday through Thursday, 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and closed Friday through Sunday.
