Recycling in Flowood: A Local Guide
Flowood is a small Rankin County city just east of Jackson with a disproportionately large recycling footprint, anchored by the presence of Nucor Steel Jackson at 3630 4th St — an electric arc furnace mill that consumes recycled scrap to produce merchant bar and rebar. The publicly accessible arm of that operation is General Recycling of Mississippi at 2050 Flowood Dr, which has served the general public for over 25 years and houses the only auto shredder in Central Mississippi.
General Recycling is the go-to stop for anyone in the Jackson metro looking to sell scrap metal for cash. The yard buys ferrous and non-ferrous material alike — automobiles, appliances, copper, brass, aluminum, electric motors — from the public via drive-up scales. Hours are Monday through Friday 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM. The yard is Nucor-affiliated; current prices can be confirmed at (601) 936-6288. Nucor Steel Jackson itself at 3630 4th St is an industrial facility not open to public drop-offs.
For waste hauling and curbside recycling service, Republic Services at 1035 Old Brandon Rd (formerly Allied Waste Services of Jackson) handles residential and commercial collection across Flowood and Rankin County. This is a service subscription operation — not a walk-in drop-off — but the office is accessible Saturday mornings for new account inquiries and dumpster rentals. The ecoATM kiosk at the Flowood Walmart on MS-25 handles used-phone and tablet buyback and is not part of a traditional recycling drop-off.
The broader metro has additional recycling options in neighboring communities. Brandon, Pearl, Richland, and Jackson each have scrap metal and waste facilities that Rankin County residents can reach easily. The full Mississippi recycling directory covers centers statewide.
